What makes a successful planting?

Thanks to John and Emma for having us on their Muckleford property yesterday for a sticky beak tour for our members.

Muckleford Landcare members John and Emma self-funded restoration on their 20 acre property. In 2019 they planted (with help) 2,000 native trees and shrubs. The success of these plantings is outstanding – the success seems to be through deep ripping, plants have a better chance of survival because their roots can reach moisture, and natural regeneration also occurs in the rip lines.

Emma is going to be removing the plant guards this weekend, you can join her, and are welcome to keep the guards for your own planting. Contact Beth.
