Today at Enrich, well, it wasn't really AT Enrich. We spent about half the day planting down along the bank at the Waihopai River. My partner was India. What we had to do was create a 'wedge' in the ground, (which is really shoving the spade into the ground the rocking it back and forth). 'Wedging' is easier in our case because if we dug the hole it would loosen the ground, which wouldn't help with the sticks we put in. It's a bit hard to explain, so here is a photo.
We planted Toi Toi's, Flax and Cabbage trees. We planted these because when the river floods it goes into a wee pond area which drags mud into the river. This is supposed to help catch the mud and hopefully make it cleaner.
I was surprised that only four girls planned it because it was properly thought out, planned and put together. Thanks Kate, Hannah, Hannah and Madison, I had fun!!
