We have a couple new bits of kit for our weed control at the nursery, one of them being the finger weeder. This is us testing it out a couple weeks ago (last time it was dry enough🙄)... It allows us to control weeds growing in the tree line itself, the tricky place that other cultivators can't reach. It did a great job! But of course it does require dry enough soil conditions, 🤞for sunshine this week... #treenursery #fruittrees #cider #kult #kress #fingerweeder #organic #ciderapples #ukgrown #nopesticides 
We have been busy these last couple of weeks planting our rootstocks in the nursery, which we will graft in the summer and dig up for sale in about 19months time... these rows are 180m long and it takes 6 people 30 mins to plant a line of around 750 trees... that's 0.6km/hr for any speed freaks out there. Wild. This is Kate, and that smile says we have nearly finished... #appletrees #treenursery #damcon #springiscoming #agroforestry #orchards #fruittrees #planting #ciderappletrees 
Quick video on some top working i did last spring. You can get great growth in 1yr with a cleft graft like this, on to an existing 5yr old apple tree. #grafting #appletree #orchard
