picnic chips

Found a recycling place in Yokohama, run by the city, where you can buy wood chips by the carload, so I've been there twice to pack the back of the van. I used it around the parking area stones, where it cut down on the weeds growing, so I got another load to spread around the picnic table on the beach side. This is where a small kind of bamboo has been really difficult to control, so we'll see if this helps. It's pretty nice under the feet, but we also have to see how the rainy season affects it.
