I am thinking of digging it up and covering the area will gravel, after putting down a mulch sheet. I also would like to put triangular raised beds on the 4 corners to grow veg in. Questions: How high would you make the beds? I have plenty of home made compost, could this be used to fill the beds? What crops would you recommend? My first reaction would be that if you intend to gravel it and then put a table and chairs on it, you'll curse yourself to the end of your days! Pave it, perhaps but if it's gravel it will never, ever be an even surface for garden furniture. -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devonhttp://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Good point Sacha. |
