I think it's going to be the year of the paths on our allotments, plots10b and 8. When we took on plot 8 last year some of our plans for plot 10b got put on hold. These were the remaining paths around the top raised beds and the path up to the polytunnel (see picture below).
During this winter we realised how important it is to get these done as we have all slipped on the mud recently and the various planks which have been thrown down to act as temporary paths have got slimy with moss. Helen and I are reluctant to go anywhere near the polytunnel at the moment during this damp weather, so it's becoming a matter of urgency to get the work done.
Over on plot 8 we want a path from the entrance gate up to the top of the plot ( see above picture), another around the shed and more around the growing areas.
Richard has a plan in mind for the path up to the polytunnel which involves steps as it is on a slight slope. Hopefully he will be able to build all of these with materials we have collected and which are freely available on our plot. The least money spent the better. And the great thing about allotment life is that there is always someone with some spare wood, paving flags or anything else. We all help each other out.
