Wood chip ordered ! Nice job for next weekend

To start it off do you card board the same as with the beds?

Great idea. I never liked the idea of boarders but the soil has slumped bridging the gap I left and allowing weed to encroach.

Do you use membrane under you chips or something else?

Thanks, im hoping to avoid needing boarders on them if I can

I’ve watched some of Charles Dowding’s video on no dig, he doesn’t seem to think boarders are needed. But to be honest minimising cost was the main driver. I may add them in time.

It’s lovely stuff. It was a bit of an outlay but hopefully worth it in the long run. Not sure how I’m going to do the next few as I’d rather keep buying compost to a minimum

Don’t see that every day. What will you use it for?

Manage to keep the grass trimmed and a bit more under control. I tried digging in a couple of beds over the summer but the ground was so hard the sods wouldn’t break up. I’ve had a go at putting in a couple of no dig beds this month for my garlic

Definitely go for it. There will always be a learning curve. This time of year is good, there’s no rush. Nothing is growing so you have time to plan and there’s no pressure to get things looking too nice as everything looks drab at this time of year.

Was an absolutely fantastic night. Already looking forward to next time
