Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 You have some nice soil by the looks of it Archie. I had to buy mine in to fill the raised beds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Did the same with the raised beds, mix of horse manure n soil, then put a membrane over and planted through it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I tried a few sellers on market place Facebook for green waste compost but got f****d about so opted for soil n horse muck, i will source some to top up the beds come Xmas. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aled 363 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I've got some crops doing well, potatoes, beetroot, and carrots looking promising. Peppers seem slow, no flowers yet. Cheers Aled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Thanks Arry, yer should be better than last year. It's only the plots, second year, as i did it during the first lockdown and it's not on my land, my garden is the other side of that fence but i'm loving my bit of Guerrila Gardening. Though i've had a better veriety this year. I'm deffo gonna grow my spuds in bags going forward and put other veg in its place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This year i've done runners, broad beans and mange tout in trays before planting out. The MT looks poor tbh and for some reason my broad bean plants are dying off, one plant every couple of weeks. Same spot as my bumper crop last year but this time they look stunted in their growth too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
