 Melissa feeds feijoa branches into the Gloria mulcher. A bucket of mulch nearly filled up ready to be spread out under the trees.

 Ray has the tough job of sawing down the last of the 15 year old kowhai tree. The tree was growing roots into the organic vege garden and shading the fruit trees in the orchard.
