Good point @muscara. I've seen them mostly used by people with allotments so I imagine they remove them once they start planting in Spring. 😊

Thanks @gillianpearce and @muscara. It was actually no problem walking on the wet carpet. We got a nice piece of carpet from the dump / recycling place locally. The main thing is look out for the type of carpet we put on the soil because we try to be organic...

Did you get some today @cryptocariad?

Sorry @gillianpearce, that was when we were preparing the ground for the polytunnel ... It was a very effective method though.

Oh I see @ctyptocariad. I thought you'd rushed out today and bought a carpet. I was feeling quite proud of my suggestion. 😂 😂 😂
