PRINCIPLE
Backbone of double meandering lines of hardy natives to provide efficient
stock shelter, bird habitat and improved farm landscape.
SITE PREP
Pre-plant spot spray with 'Round-up' (Addition of dye recommended).
ESTABLISHMENT
Species and spacings are a guide and may be adapted to perceived shelter needs.
|
STEP 1
|
(12 plants per 20m) Establish the 'backbone' plants at 1.8m spacing along an inebriated line.
|
 |
|
STEP 2
|
(8 plants per 20m) Repeat the operation along an imaginery opposite line. |
 |
|
STEP 3
|
(6 plants per 20m) Add supplementary species as shown.
For longer sites, these extras should be located randomly to avoid
symmetry. Please - no equidistantly planted Kowhais hanging regularly
over the fence every 10m! |
 |
 |
Note:
- Many plants are site-specific. Obtain advice on selection.
- Plant-material from local seed sources should be used.
