Cathy (in Seaton Sluice)
Cathy lives just round the corner from me and asked me to replace some rotting boards in her raised beds.
I suggested that we should maximise the growing space and simplify the project by making one raised bed
in the space defined by the paths in the garden.
I was able to source some second-hand scaffolding boards that looked well once they were cleaned up and
again lined them with DPM to provide a longer life. I added some compost to the topsoil to create a better
growing medium and recommended a couple of years of crop rotation to help to make a really productive growing plot.
"This looks really good and we will enjoy the additional growing space."
