Compo 10,328 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Never satisfied with the amount of available growing area, I have made myself a new raised bed. This time I have built it in the old goods loading bay siding. It is ten feet long, three feet wide and sixteen inches deep and sits on a mud and stone base. I only finished it yesterday so it needs a few days to settle before I can plant it up. I took animal dung from the animal shed across the road for a base level and then topped it up with garden compost before adding a top layer of soil rescued from old turfs that I lifted from the platform edge whilst rebuilding it. I finished it all off with a piece of trawler fishing net salvaged from the beach, so that I can grow climbing plants along it. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The can of champagne is to fill it with a mixture of veggies and ornamentals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Nice look good with climbing/tall ornamentals at he back and it makes the veggies easy to reach at the front, would like to see a pic when you've planted up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
