What would you use this for?

On part of my new plot there is a wooden bed that is seperated into 6 different sized sections. The whole thing is about 8ft x 4. What do you think it should be used for?

Sorry if a silly question, I'm totally new to this.

Here's a picture of one end of it (I haven't touched it yet :oops: )

oo....wish I'd inherited something like that on my allotment

I'd personally use it for various salad types ie radish. various lettuces etc maybe spring onions etc

Square foot gardening or a salad frame stacked up with beets, lettuce, swiss chard, broad beans, radishes and a couple of vertical crops such as peas!!!

Nice and easy!!!

Well I know we all love veg but I think you have turned a few of us green!! Lucky you dig the bits and plant at will.

Thanks, I was really pleased to find it even though I didn't know what to use it for

I'll try to go for salads and herbs, it already has chives and mint growing sort of behind it. Most of my seeds I'm growing at home for now.

It is also home to loads of snails, all around the wood though.
