I’ve been dissappointed in my self for not keeping up this blog. But the results from my squarefoot gardens has been very good and there is still plenty of winter crops left.
The weather has been poor the last two summers with heavy rain falls and Blight. So I have decided to give up 4 of my raised beds and buy a Polytunnel. The “spare raised beds” wil be used to deepen the remaining beds. One of the problems I had was the Turnips grew through the weed matting and buried themselves another 6inches below ground level, by making a number of raised beds 12 inches deep I should over come this problem. Also whilst the crops of potatoes I harvest from a mere 6inches of soil was good, I’m hoping another 6inches will greatly increase the yield.
