After enormous quantities of rain, I've finally taken advantage of a few dry days this month to get stuck into the plot. Preparing beds for growing by digging over and adding compost, sharp sand for the carrot beds. Lots of weeding and hedge/shrub cutting, with dandelions the main weed this week.
I've also made the decision to put raised beds on a non-raised area, to improve drainage and the growing soil condition. I got some decking boards to make the frames. A lot of digging needed, then will put a layer of hardcore in each, and fill with topsoil mixed with cattle manure and home made compost. A busy time, but I am behind due to the weather conditions during February and March.
