If you are after decent membrane then I can recommend the one Travis Perkins sell. Much better quality than b n q but you will have to buy a bigger roll. But then price per metre it works out cheaper.

Or share the cost with other allotment holders.

So after almost 4 months, I have managed to clear some of the plot..

In a corner where there were no weeds (carpets), I have put few blueberry plants.
Used Ericaceous compost and added pine needles.
Have now added some sphagnum on top so the ground does not dry and I keep add Ericaceous compost above the plants.
Have also added pine trees needles, little sulphur and keep watering this with coffe ground water...

How do they look in the photos? Do they look healthy?
They have started having few buds..
One of the plants has a peeling bark, do i need to keep an eye on this or is it normal?
Also do I need to prune?

Any idea where I can find pine bark chips?

Do you think I should prune any of the branches which are not red? Or should I not do any pruning since it is the 1st year that they have been planted?

Also I have found lots of coffee ground and I am wondering if it would be an overkill to just spread this across all the area that the blueberries have been planted..

Many thanks!
