Raised Beds!




















So as the year starts again for all the garden chores, mine start with making 3 raised beds. This includes the fact of i obtained 6 sleepers free of charge!...result you might say!...indeed i agree! ....however they are the heaviest thing on the planet and i have the war wounds to prove it...anyhow the attached photos show of todays efforts to build them...so far i have 1 and a half done, only because someone was supposed to drop around a scaffold board but never made it, so there is one complete and the 2nd halfway through....looks good i think considering i have never built them before. There seems to be an important fact for using sleepers that may have been treated with some sort of protective liquid, it seems that they may weep the said treated liquid through the summer months and could do some damge to your soil, so the recomended course of action is to line the inside of the sleeper with plastic (as you can see in the photo)......thats it for now
