Raised Beds

As it was a very pleasant morning in Compton, we took the opportunity to construct another raised bed.

The new bed is the nearest one on this picture and was built around the carrots remaining from the summer sowing and the shallots which were planted in October.

The raised bed behind is one constructed earlier this year where three rows of garlic are being grown.

Once these crops have been lifted, the beds will be topped up with a mix of fresh soil and compost and used to grow squash and courgettes.
