I made a raised bed for my polytunnel on Sunday. It cost me the grand sum of nothing. Yes folks, nowt!
Then I did carry it to the poly-tunnel and lay it prostrate on the ground. Then I filled it with fym (cow poo) with my trusty wheel barrow and four prong pike. The great thing about it being open at one end. I could drive (push) my wheelbarrow into the raised bed area. Then I looked around the smallholding and found two lonesome standard concrete building blocks. So I carried them one at a time and lay them at the opening. The gap in the middle will be good for drainage and we can place weeding buckets etc...
I am very pleased with my efforts and once again it goes to show you don't need to spend much (or even any) money to grow things... Perhaps I should get my raised bed patented? Maybe I will be awarded an OBE or a CDM (Cadbury's Dairy Milk) for my services to horticulture? Seriously. Do you have any cheap ways to grow your vegetables? See you soon.
great free make, we are doing an overhaul of one of the poly tunnels this winter creating new beds
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. I look forward to reading about your poly-tunnel overhaul.
DeleteI like to see your innovations Dave. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteYou have to have innovations especially on a Sunday Rachel when the builders merchants and farm centres are closed. Thanks!
DeleteDave, your a genius.
ReplyDeleteNot really Philip. I just like to recycle and make things for the veg plot from materials that are just lying around the smallholding. Thanks!
DeleteGreat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regine.
