While I was at the plot the other day I was looking at my existing raised beds and wondering what to do with them?
I'm sure lots of the sites plot holders would be very happy to take them off me, but then I had another idea.
PATHS! Veggie mentioned she just chucks a scaffold board down where she wants to walk. These raised beds are each about as wide as a scaffold board and the 10 or so beds I have when opened up should cover a goodly proportion of my paths? I could lay cardboard down to the required width (probably 12 inch) and then throw a board on top to keep the cardboard down and make a path.
Allotment gardening is all about using what you have and this could just work? Ok they may get a bit 'greasy' in wet weather, but i can live with that.
Can't wait to make a start as my mojo is brightening as the weather brightens.
