So far i've completed four of my six planned raised beds,for the timber i used treated 6x1 1/2 screwed together and it worked out at £1.24 a meter from a local hardware store.
The beds were made to the size of 3 foot wide by 8 foot long,with a 2 foot space between each one for working around,making the beds
any longer or wider would have become to much of a reach for planting and weeding.Getting the beds level and in line was a bigger job than i thought as there was a slight run of on the land but well worth the effort as they are really starting to look the part even with next to nothing planted in them yet.
After my final two beds are made and in place my next job is to work out and build some sort of net
frame that be easily lifted on and off the bed when i
am working on and around the them.

All seems to be happening very quickly on the vegetable front...plot looks the part...
