Mulching Raspberries

As I walked in via the metal gates I could see that idverde had been and cut the main path

11c clear and a cold wind in the allotment today. I have not been down to the allotment for a few days due to medical appointment and bed weather, but this morning and early afternoon (until the rain came) I was clearing the raspberry beds, spreading coffee grounds and adding mulch quality woodchips to the Tulameen Pearl (mid) Raspberry Bed

View from the entrance to Plot 1 down the main path of the allotment.

Path between plots 1 & 2 and !a and 2A still looking good.

Bind weed is now actively growing in the Raspberry beds, and I need to find a long handled light weight pruning device that's easy to use with my arthritic hands and ideally one hand, and lighter than normal long handles secateurs that needs two hands to use, and normally heavy.

I also fed the worms in the Hotbin and took the Westland Horticulture compost I bought at Blue Diamond gardening centre down to the allotment and decanted 25Litres into two 10 Litre buckets with lids. Yes that's right a sack that says 25 litres when filled decanted into 20Litres of storage capacity.

How is that possible? I'm feeling short changed.
