What to do with old furniture padding

After moving in, we were left with a bunch of furniture padding from the movers.  Rather than throw them into the landfill, we tried to find a way to re-purpose them.  So, we embarked on a project of making a path to our bee hives (which are about 150 feet away in their own secluded little tree grove).

Before laying down the padding, we acquired some no dig edging.

We mowed a path and laid out the edging to outline the path's borders

Enlisted child labor to cut padding, fit to the edging borders, and drive in landscape spikes to secure in place

Laid on wood chips, and now we have a walkable path to our bee hives (you can see them in the upper left corner.  The bee equipment structure is in the upper right)
