Woodchip Paths Around The Potting Shed

A couple of hours on the allotment this morning getting rid of the dip at the entrance and laying woodchip around the gable end and back of the potting shed now the two tree stumps have been removed. A little bit of cut and fill using a couple of old scaffold boards to tidy up and define the edge of the plot on the rear gable end.

Rear of the potting shed now the apple tree stump has been removed and the Hawthorn stump has been cut down to ground level. Where the scaffold board was laying can be seen.

Excavated soil put in front of the scaffold board and woodchip behind infilling the gap to the paving, thus levelling the entrance a little more and getting rid of the dip that was there.

More woodchip needs to be added and the two 600 x 600mm paving slabs will go between the next raised beds I install as a secondary path. This will be an ideal location to store my blue water pipes when not being used on beds to support debris netting.

Make the allotment look much neater and once the slabs and tarp has been removed I will infill the rear corner with woodchips.

Too early to cut back the raspberries, but itching to do so. The water butt will be moved back in to protect the potting shed windows from flying stones when they trim the main path, which is why the temporary glazing in the the front bottom panel.

John and I have made quite a dent in the woodchip pile in the last week.

So brave and not afraid of me at all, and with me all morning even followed me to the car park to see where I was getting the woodchips from.
