Bamboo for our treenursery!

During our last 'Friday for Future' we continued constructing the framework for the roof of the tree nursery.We used bamboo that is growing on the farm: A very strong and durable building material. Although some might argue that bamboo is invasive, it brings a lot of benefits:
💪🏼- Strong and quite flexible building material
🌿- Easy, fast-growing plant that will shoot back after cutting it down- Planting it close to where your used water leaves the house can feed this plant's need for water.

• 🍃🪵🍂Great biomass producer- easy to feed into a wood chipper and then use to protect the soil- or to entirely put into swales to create a sponge effect.

We used the small twigs that we cut off as mulch to protect the soil around freshly planted trees. Be careful though with bamboo- it can be very useful but once you have it, it is hard to get rid of it again. But if you maintain it well, it can be very useful.
