Bed Prep for Strawberries

 So whilst we are on this bed prep scheme, it's time to look at the Strawberry Empire. Now our Strawberry beds (we have 3 of them) are also somewhat infested with weeds, but there is also a lot of good plants in there. Fortunately Strawbs are pretty resilient beasties so we decided that the best bet would be to completely fig out the bed, separate out the strawberry plants and re-plant. So that is what The Wife did.

Meanwhile, I got busy with the remains of the wheelbarrow to start putting down more woodchips. The first task was to scrap out some of the existing wood chips from around the Flower Bed as it had composted down into a decent enough soil. The old soil was thrown into the new compost bins so finish breaking down and to infuse it with more nutrients, and new woodchip was acquired and thrown down.

I also put a few more barrowfuls on the main path.

But there is definitely signs of life on the plot. Even the Rhubarb has decided that now is the time to poke it's head above ground.

Of course it too has to deal with grass and weeds. Or rather I need to pull those out. Something for tomorrow then.
