Everyone seems to be getting free chippings and manure while here in sunny Devon I pay for every thing and top it all our council has banned all fires until nov. With so many weeds and pests that are recommended should be burnt...
I do try to keep my garden 'tidy' but my daughter and her friends, rather than walking down my concrete path, take a short cut over my lawn. Would a path of bark chippings work for the heavy walking of several teenage girls? I am a born again gardener, any tips on how to start this project would be 'much' appreciated!!!
I have also put wood chips on my pathways but after a while one finds the weeds growing back again. What one did was one layed old compost bags on the pathway then lay the wood chips on that. After one did that one's plot was free of weeds for some time.
I want to cover 150 square metres of grass with woodbark. I plan to cover the entire area first with plastic sheets before putting the bark down. Should I make holes in the plastic to allow water drainage. Like to hear how other folk would tackle this problem.
on my allotment i have done all my paths .with grass so wene i cut it.ican put all the grass cutings into my composter.now that keeps the weeds down .and it gives me compost back.thats good fore the soil.
I have had a ton of fresh oak chippings delivered today. Do I have to wait a while before laying them? I seem to remember something about them being too hot to use immediately.
