Instead of lifting all my Cork Bark Elms out of the Poly Tunnel for leaf removal, I opted for the fast method. As they have lived a sheltered life, they have kept their leaves to the point were they are brown. Wind would have sorted this long ago outside on the bench. I opted for the garden hose method.
and there you go, it’ll still need to do a clear up to keep the place clean and tidy but it saved me a bit of time.

Never have tried that: I’d be afraid that in a moment of inattention, I’d spray the soil of some tree! But I see it does help.

what about the therapeutic affect of patiently picking off the leaves one by one , you don’t have much else to be getting on with anyway do you ? oh yes, I remember , you have all that Berberana Rioja to be working through !!
