Wednesday 27th August 2025 - Newclose County Cricket Ground, Newport GG #1045

We returned this week to Newclose County Cricket Ground to carry on with pulling Himalayan Balsam.  We were working in the north part of the site and there were vast quantities of HB – enough for all of us….  The HB is now very mature and the plants (unless they are very small) are either in flower or with ripe and ready to burst seed pods.  We all wore a natty canvas pouch in which we collected the seed pods (kindly loaned from Gift to Nature).  This does help to reduce the seed bank, and the collected pods will be composted.

Thank you to Newclose CCG for the refreshments.
