So I've been trying to do little jobs and often, it's a way I can move forward while keeping everything else running in the background.
One of the jobs I've trying to get done (since this time last year) is the sweet chestnut raised beds. I really hate having this timber stacked up and not being used.
The idea was to have them at the bottom of the veg garden where it lies wet all winter. I'm hoping this will provide a bit of drainage and make this area a bit more manageable.
So far I only have a few fixed in place and I' haven't filled them yet, but already it's given that area of the garden a bit of structure. I can't wait to get them planted up. I'm very tempted to have one or two fo them for strawberries and try to get better at growing that fruit!
Let's hope I can get the rest in before the growing season really kicks off.
Do you like growing in raised beds? Or do the negatives outweigh the positives?
