Okay, the ground surface is nearly cleared and the debris spread about. I’ve managed to source some rotted manure from a nearby farmer. What thickness/ gauge of black sheeting is necessary to really cut the light totally out? The price varies and, whilst I don’t mind spending some cash, I don’t want to waste money unnecessarily.
Would it help at all if I covered the manure with cardboard, before then covering that with the sheeting, or am I going OTT!?
Thanks again and keep up the great work – this is all very helpful,
Tris
