the Grafting project
Functions of Design
To grow fruit in highly acidic soils by using acid-tolerant root-stocks
To learn to graft and get the grafting done in one day
To create symmetry with Rotherfield Millenium Green (RMG)
Systems Used
Planting acid tolerant root-stocks of Hawthorn and Blackthorn
Collecting local scion material from RMG grafting workshop
Networking
Irrigation system
Elements within Systems
Grafting - side grafting workshop- March
Grafting- chip budding- August (Tutor contribution)
Workshop attendees
Heritage varieties- from RMG- scion collection
Gravity fed irrigation systems (young fruit tree support):

Gravity fed irrigation systems (young fruit tree support):
- collecting water from the hillside into an overflow tank
- storing this water in 'ollas'
- rainwater harvesting into IBC tanks
- gravity fed soaker hose
- battery operated timer
- two ponds
