Jan 2021 overview

Keep up the good work

Just a summary of the work that was done.

Present: Ellie, Rudi, Neil, Rasheed, Chris, Debbie and Merike

Took trailer full of plants and brushcutter with new airfilter.

Unloaded trailer

Fetched potting soil, noticed hide was all open. Went there to close. Visitors book misplaced again, other folder dogeared. Wrote in book complaining.

Unloaded soil by potting shed. Took blanket stitch out of windscreen at platform and proceeded to dismantle.

Straightened sprinkler by empty drum. Removed Rob’s fridge from fovs room.

Watered trees in arboretum plus some pruning in small forest. Noticed mess by Pienaars bench. Checked tap on main picnic site.

Put sprinklers on to water weeded pots.

The final work on the pipeline before it got abandoned

The situation as it was at the junction of the raw water pipe that runs along the road below the Ladyslipper. Without it we could not have run the nursery and all the other waterworks in the reserve. Perhaps in the future someone will revive it.

After the manhole covers were broken and things tampered with we installed our own stopcock and buried it.
