I thought was to fill up other raised beds.... |
This bed is good loam soil, high water table but not heavy, broken up to a depth of about a foot, up to ground level. Then there’s a 12” wood raised surround. In this is perhaps 4-6 inches of compost/organic matter and then a similar depth layer of good topsoil, also blended with compost. No crowns yet. Intend to plant into this, mixing as I go, and top up. I think they’ll be a mixture of one year olds crowns and older, at a depth of 8-10 inches.
I also need to top up some of the other beds. They seem to be bottomless when it comes to wheel barrows of stuff. Not a problem; there’s no rush, the stuff is essentially free, time is something I have and, there’s always a shop to buy vegetables in.
