Raised Bed D – Mar 09

Last year this raised bed was filled with gravel and used as a base for containers. I have used the gravel as foundations for my new sheds. So the empty raised bed was filed with Mels Mix on 1st March 09.

Raised Bed D March 09 Diary

1 Mar 09

Empty raised bed filed with Mels mix.

2 Mar 09

Added squares and sowed 32 desiree seed potatoes. One per square. Each seedling planted at the bottom of the raised bed to give maximum depth. I may consider adding another 6″ frame later, but still have two raised beds to fill with mix.

I added a “good handful” of potato fertilizer to the mix. My compost is still brewing and seems to be very wet.

Some shots starting to show. Added more compost to cover them, including some home grown compost. To stop the cats, I’ve covered the raised bed in fleece.
