The six new raised beds on my plot are almost complete. It was a lot trickier than I imagined to make them: getting the timber, measuring it all out, cutting the wood, leveling the ground, filling the beds with soil - it was all pretty tiring really.
Just one more bed to fill and the edges to tidy, then it’s all done. I’ve been quite fortunate with my plot. When I got it last year it was a shambles but on corner had been left as a compost heap for ages. I spread this over a quarter of the plot last autumn and covered it for the winter. It’s now proved very handy for filling the beds with something useful, rather than having to wheelbarrow it over to the far end of the site for compost.
New seeds have also come through this week from the Real Seed Catalogue so I’ve got plenty of planning to do. Next up I think I might make or get a clod frame for the sunny end of the plot.
