How to make a path

I had made a path along here last year, but the pineapple sage has grown so magnificently well that it overhangs it and you can't walk on it. So, a new path is required. This time I used the hose as a straight edge and it does look a bit straighter.



This was last year's attempt. Which is still there under the weeds and clay.
Progress huh?

How to make a path in 3 easy steps, version 2

First the Health and Safety warning: May be disturbing to anyone who likes neat and orderly...

1. Find old pavers

2. Cart over to the path site in a wheel barrow.

3. Plonk down on the ground.

Yes I realise it went quite wonky. It also wonks in the up and down direction too, like an excellent trip hazard. But this is only temporary, to keep my feet from getting too stuck in the bog. 

Isn't it funny how 'temporary' can sometimes last years?

Building a path part 2

So... I bought some more bark. Not quite finished the path, but getting there, still got a bit more to do at the end round the compost bins. Tramp, flatten, pour out bark, still seems as good a way to build a path as any.

And in 5 minutes....

1. Tramp up and down for a few weeks, creating a flat place.
2. Buy some bags of bark.
3. Pour out bark on flattish area.

Or in this case, half a path. So step 2 should read: Buy twice as much bark....
