We have plenty of woodchip, not sure if it from the Council, or anyone that finds it a good place to dump it. Can sell you a bag, very, very cheap. ;D ;D ;D Apparently the Council van broke down, so that is why we had no compost, only joking with you. Luckily the compost is delivered near my plot, but people do moan, but they are not grateful for getting it and there are not too many spare places to put it, perhaps they would all like it delivered to their indivual plots. We never, ever got it before so why do they keep moaning and have wheelbarrow races to get as much as possible. Poor Manuel has gone to Coventry (to work) and all his hard work and digging so deep has now gone to someone else. Shame I didn't nick his carrots before the new people appeared, and I had permission for his partner, who hates allotments as she grew up on a farm in Portugal and just loves shopping. Off topic, again, must be the wine.
