Mending a raised bed
What to do when running repairs run out of steam
For the past few months we’ve been carrying out a series of running repairs on one of our raised beds that was slowly rotting away. The inevitable happened last week, when one of the side panels came completely away from the framework, spilling soil and compost everywhere. On closer inspection, all the wood was slowly disintegrating so we decided to replace the whole lot. But what to do with all the soil?
In the end we removed two barrowloads and piled the rest to whichever side of the bed we weren’t working on.
