maximising weed control.
GROUND PREPARATION
(pre-plant spraying)
Clear away all grass and weed competition
before planting. Rank vegetation can be
spot-sprayed with a knock-down herbicide
containing the active ingredient glyphosate
eg. Roundup G2. Glyphosate has low
toxicity to wildlife and soil organisms, and
breaks down fast. Spray three or preferably
four weeks before plants go in. Use
Roundup at a rate of 10 ml per litre of

Composting and Bioaerosol Pollution
Bioaerosol is the term used to describe microorganisms (bacteria, fungi/moulds or
viruses) or their products that are airborne. Bioaerosols are naturally present in the air,
mainly from soil-borne microorganisms in airborne dust. This means everyone is
constantly exposed to them, even at home. Higher levels are present

Periphyton is the algae or 'slime' that can be seen from time to time in rivers and streams,
especially during extended periods of low flows and warm temperatures. It plays a
fundamental role within the stream ecosystem by absorbing nutrients and converting them
into biomass which is then used as a food source for invertebrates, and subsequently native
fish and birds. Nuisance periphyton, in the form of either prolific thick mats or long
filaments of algae can cause streams to become

Further up the bank where the force and
frequency of flooding is less, taller species
are recommended to provide bank stability
and eventually provide shade for the water.
Once the native plants are well established
they will seed, new plants will grow to
replace the original ones as they get old
and die, and the area will more or less look
after itself.
