Title: February update from our plot (video clip)
Post by: Sparkly on February 22, 2009, 20:02:44: Today I made a little video clip to record our progress. We have managed to get a lot done, despite the weather. There have been some major steps forward over the last week. I am now looking forward to getting the final section cleared so we can remove the last bit of weed fabric. ;D ;D ;D

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, but are you also SparklyQuavers from tMP by any chance?? ???

Yep, they are woodchips. Not sure if they will be good long term as they haven't been on that long. Short term they have certainly helped prevent muddy boots and they do look good. Am hoping longer term that they will help with weed control on the paths. We can get a free source so can keep them topped up.

Nor me - still, it should give me more time to fight the weeds! :D

I've got lots of clips on YouTube too, but none of my plot at the moment.
