Eco – Willow Dome Maintenance

Primary 5 – 7 helped Sian give the willow dome a much needed trim today.  Sian enlisted the help of the children to cut back the stems of willow.  The boys and girls managed risk safety using loppers and secateurs appropriately.  Everyone helped sort the cut willow strips into piles of small, medium and large.  These  were re-weaved back into the dome structure.

Sian explained how we weave backwards, ending with the cut end which can then be pushed into the soil at the edge of the structure.  These strips will then form roots and regrow, ready for the process to repeat.
