Building Raised Beds

Posted on 25. Apr, 2009 by Justin in My Garden Diary

I've been battling for the last few years to improve the quality of my soil with little success. As a result I realised it was time to experiment with some raised beds. This will quickly solve all my heavy soil issues and provide a fantastic growing medium.

I have two major problems ahead:

I already have veg growing in my plot which I'm going to attempt to transplant so I can put the beds in place.
As the beds are quite large I'm going to have to bring in new soil which is a major undertaking, due to the volume required.

I'll be keeping you upto date on this project as it develops. You can see how I got on building the beds from the photos below:
