A Huge Thank You to TCV Bungay! – Ditchingham Orchard Workday

Ditchingham Parish Council would like to thank TCV Bungay for their fantastic work at Ditchingham Orchard, Lower Wells Close!

The team planted three resilient crab apple trees, hoping they will thrive where two oaks previously struggled due to poor soil. To give them the best start, they added compost and mycorrhizal fungi to the roots.

They also dug out a lot more rubble and used the Allen scythe to cut a long pathway around the site—though the grass was already quite short, a thorough cut and rake was carried out.

In addition, they cleared around the base of all trees, including the hedges planted previously, and mulched the trees with wool. A bit of light pruning was also done to keep the area in good shape.

The orchard is looking fantastic—thank you, TCV Bungay, for your hard work and dedication!
