Advice needed for grass carpark area

Posted by Jane Dorning Cornwall Allotments on March 28, 2010 at 8:31pm
Hi i'm hoping someone may be able to suggest how to solve a problem I have, on my Allotment fields the carpark area gets very muddy in the winter/ spring after rain, there are probably in the region of 20-30 cars per day coming in and out in the summer, less in the winter, I dont want to tarmac/concrete or even hardcore the carparks although I have put hardcore down in the gateways, I was wondering what people would recomend to help this, I have seen the grass protection matting that grass grows through, has anyone had experience of this? any suggestions welcome. Thanks Jane

    Thanks for your replies.

    I have been told that the grids that you fit together need planning permission has anyone else heard this? also looking at the websites, you need, as Ian said above to make a sub base then fill with soil and reseed it, keeping it free from traffic for quite a while, whereas the 'netting' type you lay on top of the grass, so I was thinking this would be more suitable, also could i use it on small patches where people turn to park as these get churned up too?
