- With all the rain this autumn we are having a problem with wet leaves trampled in on the the surface of the hard path on Mayfields North. They are rapidly turning into organic mud and can't be removed with a leaf blower or the battery rotary mower we use to pick up and shred leaves in a drier autumn. We have resorted to scraping them off with a wire lawn rake which works but is slow. Does anyone have any better ideas please?

You can see MCT has just finished giving the wildflower meadow its Autumn trim. It doubles as a useful dog exercise area between now and the end of February when the spring flowers start to emerge again.
Looks great Malcolm!
@stef.lambert Many thanks Stef. For once this year we were pleased to see some rain yesterday to water them in as the soil there dries out quite quickly close to the trees.
Malcolm, I'll have some more foxgloves for planting on Mayfields by next Thursday!
Thanks Mike. Might put some alongside Nelsons Lane.
They seed very freely in our garden, so you may get some wandering up there in a year or so!
Thanks Caroline. We have a slight problem getting them to re-seed more than once for some reason, probably through too much competition.
Well they are biannuals!
