It’s amazing what new woodchip can do! We applied for a bit of support to the railway company GTR and they’ve enabled us to purchase a new lot of woodchip for the edible plot and the compost area. It’s renewed the area … people passing have remarked on how tidy it looks! The photos below show the before and after. It’s great to get ready for the new gardening year with a refreshed surface. It also helps when things get wet – less chance of slipping.

We’re looking forward to starting work on growing edibles in March. First, though, we have to endure Storm Eunice … and the strongest winds we’ve had for a while.
