This is a pic of a raised bed on a communal allotment (well it would be if there were any volunteers) Last year this bed produced a mountain of produce and was easy to weed and maintain. The height is brill for less abled gardeners (like me since I did my back) and for disabled people as well. We grew on this bed courgettes, squashes, leeks, dwarf beans, two lots of spinach, 2 lots of beetroot, red onion, spring onion, ordinary onion, giant onion, giant leek, 2 lots of garlic, cabbage, parsley for the welldressing folk, and other stuff which I've forgotten. It'll come to me. So successful was it that we've built another one. I say we when I mean us, eg a local in bloom group. We lso inherited a skeleton polytunnel which we used to grow squashes and runner beans up and it was very successful. We had a sale and all the money raised goes to pay for plants etc for the next floral display in our town.
I will take some more pics of the raised beds as we go
