Raised veggie bed - question
Came back from Chelsea with new enthusiasm for growing veg in a raised
bed!
My initial thoughts on construction are...
1) Remove turf from area & level (lawn on a slight slope)
2) Lay weed suppressant matting
3) Construct bed - prob 9" - 12" high
4) Fill to 4" with gravel to help drainage
5) Fill remainder of bed with soil / compost
My question is - am I makng it harder than it need be? Could I just
put the bed on the sloping lawn, fill with soil / compost & start
planting?
Any thoughts / advice appreciated
Thanks
Paul
