Whilst the soil here is very fertile and everything grows well, that includes the weeds. We have been battling the weeds in the fruit cage area all Spring, pulling them up and putting down old carpet to act as weed suppressant sheet, and then spraying the grass with weedkiller until it looked like this below.
- killing off the weeds and adding old carpet
Today we laid 100 metres of black suppressant sheet in the fruit cage area. We cut round the raspberry canes and fruit bushes to cover the whole area, until we ran out of the black fabric. Quickly went to Ebay and purchased another 100 metre roll so now have to wait for it to arrive before we can finish the job.

A little toad came to join us in the task………….
- little toad
We love all little animals here, so he was welcome to join us.
Why don’t toads, hens, cats eat weeds? that would make our life easier.
