I want to make some new no dig beds for cutting flowers, edible flowers and strawberries, so today I mowed the grass short and started marking out where they’re going to go.
The next stage will be to cover the grass with cardboard and then put compost on top, so I’ve already filled a trailer full of green waste compost that I had delivered a couple of weeks back.
There are in fact four separate beds, each 1.2m wide by about 6.5m long because it’s quite handy to be able to walk up the middle of the garden between the two raspberry beds on the left of the photo, so I’ll probably end up using the two closest to the raspberry beds for the strawberries and the two further away (and closer to the house) for the flowers.
I also patched up most of the holes in the cheap polytunnel I bought last year for which I have to thank Storm Isha. More about that another time.
