26th Feb - Paving the way

Over the past few months I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for paving slabs to path as much of the site as possible. When we made the beds I wanted the central path to be paved in the middle for easy wheelbarrowing and the off shoot paths would be bark chippings. I now feel I have scavenged enough slabs to make it official.

Over the wet months the paths have become muddy and uneven from mud sliding. Time to even them out a bit and lay weed membrane. Simple, quick and easy; measure, lay it, staple edges to raised bed boards, repeat.

In the meantime, tomato seeds are doing well, as are aubergines, leeks, chillis and peppers.
