Thanks! Our council don't allow woodchip, and last year they banned the use of bark as well. Grass would be too much of a maintenance overhead (we only have a push mower). Gravel would be too expensive, plus it would be uncomfortable to kneel on when doing some impromptu weeding without a kneeling pad. So we're stuck with the plastic. It's not my favourite but it keeps things neat and low maintenance. Cheers! David
Beautiful dahlias
Thanks! 🙂 We just need the yellow ones to stop dying on us! It's only the pink ones that seem to survive.
Amazing allotment! Definitely one of the best on UA-cam. Question - How come you have bare plastic paths?
