Raised Beds
Posted: Sat 18 April, 2009 Filed under: Domestic, Getting Organised, Green Garden Leave a comment »Among other things, today we’ve built two raised beds (technically three, but two have been joined together to make a double-height one) for the veg patch.
It didn’t start well, but i the end everything combined OK and the last two went together in about 45 minutes each.
They’ve been made from 7″ x 1″ planks (so the double-height is 14″ high) and will work to be part of our new plan for the veg patch – reducing the workload by covering most of the patch in weedproof membrane, and using the raised beds for our crops/veg.
It means we won’t be using all the space, but it does mean we should be able to get on with growing stuff, rather than ending up with a patch that’s primarily great for growing weeds…
