Time for Gravel 1

We're fed up with the very good soil in our orchard. The nasty weeds love it far too much, especially the ones with the nasty prickly seeds that stick to dog paws. A few container bags of the stuff each year, followed by meter high Malva. Pretty pink flowers, but indestructable. 

We don't do RoundUp, so it's geotextile + gravel, after engineer De Waal managed to remove ALL weeds. By hand.  Ramblizo has rolls of geotextile that are 4 meters wide, which reduces the number of seams. We still have sewn more than 100 meters I think. With a different stitch later.

This is the first half of the orchard, done summer 2022.



Neatly overlapped and sewn.



Arrival of 10 bags (4 more later)



Tex being helpful, or not

Ready!


AAAARGHHH!
