raised/deep beds
Where can I get specifically on raised beds for growing vegetables?
There's a couple of things I can't find details on. For instance 1. When the sleepers are down and nailed, how full do they have to be with soil? Up to the top or about three inches down? 2. Should the beds be west to east or north to South? 3. Can you use the individual beds for crop rotation, i.e. one bed for legumes, one for root crops etc or does there need to be more distance between? 4. Can I grow potatoes in them or do you still grow them on the flat and is it possible to plant them say 5 inches down and then gradually fill up the sleeper beds as the potatoes grow, rather as they do with barrels? Well I've looked at loads of book but even the RHS just doesn't give enough advice about it all. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
