Paddock
The other thing I did over the weekend was have a go at
cutting down the bushes that run along the side of the paddock. Over the years
there’s been a cluster of trees growing along and in amongst the fence on the
sunny side and these trees cast a shadow across the wicket and needless to say
that has a negative impact on the grass. So I’ve been out and cut all the trees
and the brambles at the base to kill them off before they get going. I’ll have
to cut the dead stuff off bit by bit over the coming weeks. At the moment it’s
wet and lumpy over there and at some point soon I’ll need to get in there with
the roller. The grass is in need of some care and with 3 ½ weeks till the next
school holiday now’s the time to get the grass seed down as Easter’s a key prep
period where the main rolling happens so the grass seed will need to have got
established by then.
