FROM A WEEK IN THE COTSWOLDS

[harkthorn]

My fountain pen ran out of ink, so I picked up two cheap basics for now-a purple, and this green, thinking it would go nicely over the green ballpoint pen lines.

For the sketch, it's another "photo from the UK countryside that I thought a dragon would go nicely into"

How to Build Weed-Free Garden Beds Using Hardwood Sleepers and Geotextile Membranes

Building a weed-free garden bed not only guarantees that your plants grow well without competition but also minimizes the level of maintenance required during the growing season. The use of hardwood sleepers in conjunction with geotextile membranes is a great way to construct raised garden beds that are low-maintenance and long-lasting.

Why Use Hardwood Sleepers?

Hardwood sleepers are an excellent option for garden beds because they are strong, naturally beautiful, and resistant to rot. Hardwoods like oak, jarrah, or eucalyptus are longer-lasting than softer woods and offer a firm, good-looking frame for your garden. They are perfect for raised garden beds since they can support the weight of soil and give your outdoor area a rustic look.

The Role of Geotextile Membranes

A geotextile membrane is a man-made fabric that is employed to divide and shield the soil from lower layers. When applied to garden beds, geotextiles play a number of important roles:

Weed Control: Geotextiles inhibit weed seeds from sprouting by preventing them from reaching sunlight while permitting water to flow through. This results in fewer weeds in your garden bed.

Soil Separation: They prevent the garden soil from intermixing with the ground below, keeping the bed well-drained and stable.

Better Drainage: Geotextiles also enable excess water to drain, avoiding waterlogging and promoting better growth of your plants.

Construction of Your Weed-Free Garden Bed

Here's an easy step-by-step process to build your own weed-free garden bed with hardwood sleepers and geotextile membranes:

Prepare the Location: Begin by selecting a level, well-drained spot for your garden bed. Clear away any grass, weeds, or debris in the location.

Install the Hardwood Sleepers: Set your hardwood sleepers into place in the shape you prefer for the bed. You can stack the sleepers to give the bed a raised look or simply place them side by side on the ground, depending on what you like and how high you want the bed.

Install the Geotextile Membrane: Cut a section of geotextile membrane large enough to enclose the bottom and sides of your bed. Place the membrane on the ground where the garden bed will rest, making sure it goes slightly up the sides of the sleepers. This will serve as a weed barrier while still draining water.

Fill with Soil: After installing the geotextile, fill your garden bed with quality garden soil. The fabric will keep the soil contained and prevent it from seeping into the ground below, which helps maintain the integrity of your bed.

Plant Your Garden: Your bed is now prepared and free from weeds; you can plant your flowers, vegetables, or herbs securely, assured that the geotextile membrane will prevent weeds from growing.

Conclusion

Employing hardwood sleepers and geotextile membranes is a great means to build a hard-wearing, good-looking, and weed-free garden bed. With little maintenance and lasting effect, this collaboration allows you to relish a healthy, blooming garden free from the relentless fight against weeds

Small sketch for background practice. No energy for throwing in a dragon etc

One day I'd like to have coloured Microns to do this kind of thing with-I really like the little thin line sketches like this but get tired of ballpoint, and the same four colours
