Mi chiamo Giorgio Bizzotto e sono nato a Cittadella (PD) un (bel) po di anni fa. Ora vivo a Como da più di 30 anni. Due libri hanno contribuito a formare la mia visione della fotografia sulla natura: uno è di Mario De Biasi: Il il terzo occhio sulla natura e il secondo è: La Creazione di Ernst Hass.
CHM – it needs to be mowed occasionally, besacue we can’t graze it. The orchids will do better if it’s carefully mowed at the right time of year to mimic a lightly grazed sward. If you don’t graze or mow the grass species become too dominant.Sweetpea: Unfortunately terrestrial orchids rarely survive transplantation besacue of their dependency on the mychorrizal fungi which form the link between their roots and the soil. Orchids are very sensitive to disturbance, and a new site will have a different mychorrizal mix. It’s also illegal to interfere in any way with many species. Don’t despair though. I’d be surprised if you don’t have orchids already, or at least waiting in the wings to colonise, especially if your work has left a few bare patches that new plants could take advantage of. We mow the orchard in May, July and October. Ideally, I’d like to just mow in October besacue the May and July mows will involve dodging the orchids which will in full growth. By October they will be dormant and below ground for a while. We mow earlier in the year besacue it’s a nuisance trying to find fallen fruit in the longer vegetation.
