With the trees and stumps gone, the East Meon paddocks were sprayed off with glyphosate, left two weeks, rotavated level, rolled, seeded with a dimple seeder at 2.5 g/m² and rolled again. Part 3 of the series, and why the job is not finished when the seed goes in.
Part two of the East Meon paddock creation project: an 8-tonne excavator lifts around 300 tree stumps and root systems out of three acres, the holes are filled and levelled, a 30ft hedge comes out and the drainage ditch begins.
Three acres of East Meon paddock had been left to nature and grown more than 300 self-seeded trees. Here is how we flailed, felled and chipped it back to open ground in three working days — and why the stumps are waiting until September.
