Green mulch for paths

Over the last couple of weeks I've been busy barrowing wood chips. According to Google Earth it's 330 metres to the car park (660m round trip), yesterday I made fourteen trips making it 9,240 meters or 5.75 miles. The uphill return journey with a full barrow seemed to get heavier each time. The most recent delivery to the site was very green and mainly Leylandii but it's covered pathways between beds.




Not covered the red cabbage bed yet (obviously) but the cabbages are starting to heart up nicely. Difficult to see in the photo but a plastic bottle swinging from a bendy tent pole is so far keeping the pigeons at bay.
