This year I installed some extra-deep (40cm) raised beds, and I think they have made a big difference. My previous ones were only 20cm deep, and I think they were not deep enough.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-33802476977592302342015-09-30T22:03:44.653+01:002015-09-30T22:03:44.653+01:00Lovely bunch of potatoes.

I still managed to find another 3 hiding beneath the foliage! Most of my plot is now bare and it will get turned over in the spring. There are still the runner beans to cut down and the asparagus to die back. <br />And so to bed!<br />xxMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08442767679857541996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-34330691313116028292015-09-30T15:46:52.012+01:002015-09-30T15:46:52.012+01:00Fantastic spud harvest, they look a decent size to...Fantastic spud harvest, they look a decent size too!
