Bindweed Blues

I removed the roofing battens from the bed and found that the mass of bindweed roots had got out of the bed and into the woodchip under the path. Bending double to get this stuff out is exhausting, so I found  other areas I could tidy without as much bending. 

I'm getting a bit of the Bindweed blues so next visit I'm going to focus on the next raised bed and come back to the bindweed in the raspberry bed and surround paths. once I have the raised bed completed.  

I unscrewed the timber edging to the bed I have removed to put in the raised beds and this timber will be ripped up and put in the bottom level of the raised bed as a packer and sacrificial timber 

This timber will also be cut and installed as a filler to the bottom of the raised bed
