More raised beds

Now that the last few parsnips have been lifted from plot 2, the next raised bed has gone in. The next bed has got leeks in it and when these have been lifted I can build another one.


More boards have been used to keep the soil from spilling onto the path from the permanent climbing bean bed. As we add lots of kitchen waste and compost every year it was starting to become a nuisance, one that is now a thing of the past.

The scaffolding structure is used as a support for the 8' canes that we grow the beans up. It makes for a very sturdy and neat solution to the perenial problem of fabricating a bean frame that doesnt fall down under the weight of the beans or due to wind.
