Thanks for your replies. I had a brainwave today. I have moved 3 fairly large pieces of sandstone and put them in front fence, not right up hard by maybe an inch of so in front. I shall put the bark up to the stones and that will keep it away from the fence. Heavy work for me. I lifted out a very very heavy large container
, so will have to find a few more stones. Lifted out 2 half sacks of sifted earth and put that down under where the bark is to go. m Moved a paving stone that I get up to the back on, and this is all done folded double under a buddliea tree with just a 4ft clearance.So if daughter is doing me a burger I shall eat it and enjoy.
Will get the bark tomorrow, I am reckoning about 4 bags. Don't quite know how I shall move them yet !!
Thanks again, Mrs B
