Weed Control
Kakariki Projects will help identify and target noxious weeds on your property and develop a plan to control them.
We aim to provide the landowner with the best option for the site, to minimize costs and environmental impacts.
We use a range of weed control methods and generally complete weed control for 2 years after planting.
Scrub cutting
Scrub cutting is completed in areas that are overgrown and unplantable. This is completed to create a suitable planting area and give the plants the best chance of surviving.
Cut & paste
The cut & paste method is used when poising larger individual weeds.
Spraying
Spraying is completed prior to planting and post-planting. Kakariki projects have access to a portable sprayer and knapsacks depending on the situation.
Mechanical clearing
Mechanical clearing using a machine is completed when the site is large enough to require a machine.
