Paths in the potager

We have had a giant (and growing) pile of branches sitting on the concrete for months waiting to be chipped in the wonder destroi. We use some of them for chicken bedding, but the main plan for the wood chips is to keep the weeds down on the paths in the potager.
Doug had a heroic session with the chipper and got it going enough to show it will look look GORGEOUS when it is done (in a few years time!).
There is still a teeny weeny amount of work to do before it is perfect - specially as we want a path round the edge too.
The pea/bean supports look nice huh? It is a shame the slugs have eaten the peas and beans.
Lorna did some weeding between our beds last year, and we got a tiny bit of wood chip down. I think she would be delighted to see the step forward things have taken, although a tiny bit distressed to see just how fast and giant the weeds have grown.
