Hurray! Great news! One of my raised beds is ready! Or at least ready in the sense that construction is complete. It needs a bit more work before I can grow anything.
The first task is to kill off the evil kikuyu grass which currently occupies the bed (see bottom right photo). Having read on the internet that smothering can be quite successful, my weapon of choice is old underlay saved from our renovations. I laid it out and pegged it down with tent pegs, narrowly avoiding the white tail that was clinging to the underlay.
Now we just have to wait and work out where we're going to get 12 cubic metres of good, weed free soil from.
