Yesterday I chipped some tree branches that had been pruned off a few trees, leaving the woodchip in the trailer. Today I realised that I was going to need the trailer for something else, so I needed it empty. Oh, well, best spread it on the paths around the new no dig beds then…
It had rained overnight, but perhaps I didn’t entirely appreciate how much. The mere act of stepping on the ground turned it instantly to mud and I was slipping about all over the place. Even the tractor (towing the trailer) was sliding about despite its heavily-cleated tyres. I really shouldn’t have done it, but equally I really needed the trailer.
So, some of the paths look a bit better now the job’s done. Some of the grass however looks rather the worse for wear.
