Update. Got all my raised beds in now and all stocked with soil + compost and ready to go, decided against excessive amounts of deep digging to much for an old git TBH. Many thanks to a fellow lottie for bringing me loads of compost in his trailer. The mint is on site and placed in half buried plastic container so it should stay put. My 3 different kinds of autumn onion sets are in, redcross, troy and radar. Also planted some overwintering beans "aquadulce claudia" seems you bung them in now and when spring comes as they are ahead of the game you get beans extra early we shall see. So far total cost £0 and 0 pence other than buying seeds and sets. Raised beds made from aquired timber. I simply asked a local builder if I could do a bit of skip rummaging. That paid off big time even got enough spare wood for fellow goater harry t'******* to build his raised beds. 8 old car tyres free from a tyre fitting place so Mrs TB can grow herbs and such like. All the stones dug up have been put onto plastic sheeting and that has made useful gravel paths between the beds. Just waiting to see what pests and nasties are lurking in the soil ready to munch through everything next spring.
