You son of a bitch, I’m in!

Very nice! Home grown veg is like home brewed coffee in that regard, a poor home made one is better than a good shop bought one!

Interesting, will be trying this, thanks!

Love it!

Fresh as it can get! Money can’t buy that taste!

Nice tip! Thanks.

Thanks, I was pleased with it. Hopefully the rest are as successful!

It does look comfy…

Thanks! I like to put the flowers at the ends of rows of veg. Gets the pollinators and predators right in there!

Absolutely a top tip! Oh the price of convenience, huh? :)

They are 1200mm x 1000mm x 200mm. Which is standard UK pallet dimensions, as these are pallet collars, which is why they actually have hinges on the corners so they fold flat for storage. Not much use now, but I like the look they give!

I expect there’ll be some persistent grass, but it shouldn’t be too bad so long as I keep on removing as much as possible when it appears. My other established bed has the grass growing out of the seams issue, so I’m somewhat used to it I suppose, lol.

Thanks! I put a layer of cardboard down first to kill off the grass, which will all compost down so the roots can access the undisturbed soil below.

No burrowing pest issues here, thankfully, mainly badgers and foxes that I have to keep off with the mesh hoops you can just see on the furthest beds.

Thanks! These work out at about £80 per bed. But they absolutely could have been done much cheaper!

I bought brand new pallet collars, but used ones are probably available with a bit of searching. I’d already used all my home made compost in another higher bed, so had to buy all of what went into these.

There are more of us out there.

This has worked well for me too, for many years now!

Spray with that Scotchguard stuff you waterproof shoes with. Seals the mold out.

15 year old crack.

There’s one near me that’s only about 200 meters. Nothing joining for miles in either direction.

I suppose it puts a tick in a box somewhere.

There will be a good few onion days with this haul!
