The trick for keeping it in good condition is rotating what you grow, always adding plant foods and kidnapping worms from anywhere you see them and bringing them to your raised beds. Try not to dig too much in your beds, I mostly garden with gloved hands in the tunnel, only turning the soil over once or twice each year ... and carefully if I do.<br /><br />Hope this helps 😊Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-40516509764465307992017-12-11T21:47:53.591+00:002017-12-11T21:47:53.591+00:00I'll need that soup after my ride into work to...I'll need that soup after my ride into work tomorrow!Simon Douglas Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331409652996600049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-47135880419357626372017-12-11T19:13:32.600+00:002017-12-11T19:13:32.600+00:00There's nothing like a good batch of soup to k...There's nothing like a good batch of soup to keep warm on these cold days.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-42106990968330965002017-12-11T19:11:29.601+00:002017-12-11T19:11:29.601+00:00It seems odd to see so much snow there!

I got raised beds in my unheated greenhouse two years ago but I used mostly bags of compost topped up with compost from my compost bins. However, they dry out horribly during the winter and I'm wondering if they should have some top soil in them. Can you help please? Your photos are lovely by the way, we've had no snow here in Glasgow but we've had a very hard frost for the past few days which is keeping everything white too. xMarksgranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02870471905590321642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-31727162102794481552017-12-11T18:09:15.146+00:002017-12-11T18:09:15.146+00:00Winter weather is just perfect for a big pot of so...Winter weather is just perfect for a big pot of soup.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-3249715816899854952017-12-11T17:50:48.147+00:002017-12-11T17:50:48.147+00:00Lovely photos, perfect soup weather!

I have made a pan too and hope it will last a few days. The snow here on the Essex coast is all gone thanks to the rain that started at 4 this morning and is still going now! Some showers have been sleet but nothing is settling.
