I have been offered some length of hessian, would it be possible to use it as a path? Any other ideas for its use?
I keep a lenth on top of my cold frame it doubles up as blanket at night if needed and shade cloth during the day , Again if needed.

You could always make sacks for your spuds...
;D
Or even put manure in it and suspend it in your water barrels
Yes I would make sacks for spuds.Very useful :)

If hessian is the same as burlap I think it would rot quickly using it on a path. Maybe suspend it over shade loving crop like lettuce in mid-summer to extend its season a bit?
It definitely rots fast if it's damp all the time. It's good for smoker fuel when it's half rotten.
I use it to cover beds through the winter that are not being used, until I am ready to use them the following spring. Keeps weeds down ;)
