raised bed complete

[chilli_grower]

Hi everyone,

A while ago, I posted on here that I'd like a raised bed ready for the spring time.

I managed to get my Dad to make it for me

Here it is, all made of 4 x 2. Solid as a rock. And heavy as hell!!!!

I am very pleased with it.

Well done, chilli_grower's dad! You'll find that really useful

[muddyfeet]

That looks lovely, really well made!

[Bren In Pots]

It does look good

[veggiechicken]

That's fantastic, CG I'm surprised you could move it. We'll want photos of it planted up next

[vikkib]

That looks amazing! Don't suppose you can send him our way?! I could do with some just like that!

Puts my woodworking skills to shame!

[chilli_grower]

thanks all, I will tell him you all like it.

To be honest, he is quite a good chippy. And is one of these 'jack of all trades' type of person.

Yes it was incredibly heavy VC.

But this WILL last 20 years.

I am hoping to fill it over the next 2 weeks or so....

Glad you all like it. I hope the onions will feel the same!!!!

4 x 2 No wonder it's heavy I made a coop out of plywood, and that was heavy enough, can't imagine how heavy that would be

Looks fantastic. I want one too!

What are you going to fill it with?

[Bigmallly]

Brilliant job Dad, it'll take you till spring to fill it............

I got some horse manure going in there, along with some topsoil and some compost. (All for free)!!!!

I will put some chippings in the bottom.

And I have a liner going in there.

Really really nice! Now ... what are you going to grow in there?

That's a magnificent looking beastie of a raised bed - well done your dad - keep us updated as the year goes by!

Just don't line it & fill it then think " Oh Bu99er, I forgot the drainage holes..........
