I mulched the ASpers in the morning. 3 of them were planted into a patch of nahiku, so I did the obligatory attempt at sheet mulching the area with lots of carboard and some piles of green waste and rough mulch. the water line got kinked somewhere though, so halfway through the process I had to go walking up and down the hill looking for the problem. which was a real bugger, since it was all I had in me to go back and forth up the hill getting cardboard and mulch... At least, that area is one of the most inaccessible on the property and now it is largely planted out. Of course, hauling massive bamboo poles out of there, and buckets of cacao etc will be fun...
In the afternoon we put a coat of pink/beige acrylic latex on the plywood, more as a preservative than as aesthetic thing, but I suppose it is an alright colour. Will probably do a second coat today I suppose.
