Yet more wet weather slows progress
The wet conditions have prevented us from completing the laying of the mulch, not too much of problem as growth is slow, so the plants are not out-growing their cells yet. However the previous green manure crop begun to grow back. You can see below the growth starting on the beds.
The main concern is Chicory seen below which is included in the green manure crop because of its strong root growth, for the same reason it has been rotovated in as it could push up under the mulch, displace and allow weed growth on exposed areas.
The area looks nice and clean now and ready for the mulche to be laid, even though it was only cultivated to a depth of about 3"
