Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Ok I'm thinking of planting grass or something between my raised beds to keep the weeds down. I've got carpet down now but it looks carp and I still get weeds up the edges...
Any ideas?
Clover? Or a green manure I can mow or grass???
Any thoughts peeps?

I make paths from a thick layer of chipped wood which most tree surgeons will give you free. It breaks down slowly enriching the soil.
Can get it free Hugh from my tree surgeon mate.... I thought yours were grassed?
Was just wondering about something like clover which could be cut and used for compost?
Chippings would be easy though d

Made a quick rough and reay cold frame up today.... plants getting leggy in the house!!
Trying to warm up the soil for the spuds..
Over winter onions look a bit straggly
Wizard beans looking better... only did a few this time as H not that keen on them ( more for me I love them!!)
Finally knocked up a bit if support for the rasberries.
Something bled in my Perspex????!!!😳
What have you been up to in your plot???

Our over wintered onions, garlic and shallots are going off great guns. My first earlies have broken the surface and nearly all the rhubarb (30 crowns of multiple varieties) is up - first early ready for picking.
I have just cut in and built two new strawberry beds at 100 sq ft each. I've manured them heavily but I'm struggling to get a good planting tilth reduced yet -it still a bit wet - lots or rotovator work in the coming weeks. I have three new bean varieties to try this year which should be interesting.

Good stuff !! Should have my spuds in really they're chitted but soils prefer cold here.... I'm hoping to them in sunday. Strawberries look quite good got them under glass to see how they go. Mini sweetcorn in the cold frames with peppers ,toms, sweet peas ,cucumber capsicum and lettuce.Apple trees pretty bare of blossom but it was heavily pruned so not expecting much.
