All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Kia ora neighbour!
Sounds like you've got a big project aye? Looking forward to hearing more about it!
Gorse is a fine nursery crop and a nitrogen fixer but you can always cut and paste with herbicide that runs through it's roots and degrades quickly so the soil remains safe for planting other things as it rots. It's such a pain (literally) to have around it won't get shaded out for a decade. At least the ones around the houses and publicKanuka and manuka make great nursery crops as well. The stockings required for a good reforestation project gets so expensive I really recommend looking into the grants. You can always go back through and plug in some food crops later on. I'm going to inoculate ours with some edible native fungi once they form a good canopy.
