Post by: hoonteo on March 17, 2008, 21:14:19
My soil is quite boggy and I've made raised beds. What veg grows best in this sort of soil?

Do you mean clay soil or just boggy?My runner beans went bonkers with all the rain last season.Potatoes like wet but not too much. :)

I would try to build your beds up with compost,manure grit etcBulky compost is good :)something to improve the structure of the soil.
