It was have decided to tidy up the nursery beds this year. We have a system of capillary matting covered in a thin black plastic with holes in, this is to aid watering by retaining water in the matting and the plant roots then grow down and take up the water from the matting, but unfortunately it is a case of the theory is better than the practise as there is still plenty of watering to be done.
The black plastic was torn and flapped about in the wind so we have replaced it with a thicker one and covered it in pea gravel it looks really good and now it is being covered with newly potted plants from the stock area.
I must confess that I have not been in the garden this week as the weather has been so awful rain, wind and even sleet, typical Easter weather. I looked back at my blog for this time last year and we wanted rain as it was really dry.
