Today we decided to get on with some wood chip production to get the paths covered before the weed season kicks off.
Today’s session produced enough clippings for a thick layer (about 10cm) on this wide but short bit of path. The bed is the slightly different texture on the left.
Two paths like this: thin but long, were cardboarded before the cardboard ran out. We will continue chipping to get these covered. We need to do some cutting back in the hedges to get chipping material, so it’ll take a few days.

As a final thought, we decided to open the package of bramble clippings from last year. We had wrapped them in thick black pond liner offcuts to discourage regrowth, which seems to have worked. However, we saw a very lovely slow worm in the heap, and Dave said it may have laid eggs, so we shouldn’t dig out and distribute the clippings. Good for potential wildlife, bad for progress on the garden infrastructure.
