I have a whole load of old carpets if you want them? Only thing you'll have to do is collect from the Dronfield area?

Let me know... :thumbsup:

Have you tried asking on Freecycle? There's a roaring trade there in old carpets and quilts as insulation to stop weeds and protect frost sensitive plants over winter.

please do not use foam backed carpet on your allotment, as the foam rots it releases toxins into the ground!
