Dún an Óir Rose bed had its centre weeded

 Tony spent a couple of days forking up and then digging out the weeds from the centre of this bed.





Still have the borders to do and to add a QR sign to this blog :)

But a big improvement over how it was.


He found the best approach was to fork up a meter of so the length of the bed and then use a garden trowel to get under the weed so all its roots were pulled out.




He then bagged the roots (and collected any litter as he went in a separate bag)


A lovely find was all the Scarlet Pimpernel around its border

Finally clearing litter at the bottom of Tullyglass Hill (opposite Tola Park) Tony  also picked up 5 more dangerous li-ion vapes to add to his collection.
