Erosion project

We are doing a erosion project at the springbok flats. we took a open patch and surrounded it with sickle bush. in the middle we put a lot of grass and cut sweat bush, after we made holes in the ground with a spitfork. This will help put some nutrients back into the soil. We are going to cover this patch with sickle bush, so the grasses won't blow away. There was a midden (a place where antelope mark their territory) in that area, so we didn't cover it. I hope in time that this piece will fully recover.
