Beautiful weather this weekend. Frosts at night but the daytime temp is about 20C so it is irresistible to be outside… and we had a job to do:
This photo shows the patch of black bamboo in our garden.Over the years we have let it go a bit, a very heavy frost one year killed off the tallest stems that rose about 7 meters and poked out the top of the mass.
Inside it is very thick with dead stems. Walking into the bamboo grove is a beautiful experience so these old stems have become a problem
After 2 whole days of extremely hard work, we now have an open bamboo grove, but an enormous load of dead stems to dispose of.

Why not make a big bonfire for cracker night… ?
When the weather gets a lot colder or damper, I think we will burn it. It will be such a hot fire. We can't do anything that might risk the paddocks burning.
When is cracker night?
