Winter Pool

What's happening in the field?

We have made a new path to run in parallel with the existing right of way. We have replanted it with hard-wearing grass. this will be for foot traffic and mobility vehicles only (for a smoother ride and no ruts!) This field has just been drilled with an over winter cover crop to protect the soil, it should start to come through in a week or so! This field has Winter Bird Feed planted around the edge and a wildflower margin with a mix of annuals. It’s turned out to be red, white and blue!

Field Description

Presumably named because it became wet in the winter! We often divide this field into East and West for planting. It’s one of the original Organic 4, and the first field to have pigs on when we arrived in 1992.
