Stump and Spray Friday

This stump in the preschool playground is finally going to be ground up.

Here comes the stump grinder which was carefully threaded through the fences surrounding the playground.

Despite the best efforts, the stump grinder gets bogged down in the deep mulch of the playground.  This wonderful mulch that keeps the children safe if they tumble, has retained too much water, and they are unable to grind the stump today.

Here is another ground up stump, and this is what the preschool stump will look like some day.

The willow is turning yellow, and it looks lovely, but its roots and twigs clog the water channel.

There were two of these large weed and feed trucks full of spray for the Foulkeways lawns.

The spray is applied from the back of the truck.

The spray is applied from the two arms.

And the spray is applied with a hose.

I hope the mallards and the meadow garden were spared the spray.
