Hi Everyone,
My name is Malph and I hail from Aberdeenshire. My first serious attempt at growing my own took place this year, which has been an overwhelming success. I have definately succumbed to the bug.
For a small plot that is exposed to the elements atop a hill combined with the harsh weather we recieve up here in addition to the pesky rabbits, deer etc.. I managed to grow a healthy amount of peas, beans, onions, carrots, raab, strawbs, raspberries, blueberries, courgettes, cauli and broccoli.
I decided to use old baths as raised beds and filled them with a layer of stones, dirt, manure then a top layer of compost. Seems to have worked out ok
Planning on getting a pollytunnel for next year and extending the plot, as what at first I thought would be a huge enough space for me as a beginner, now seems to be shrinking!
Anyway, enough waffle from me. Have been lurking around and this seems to be a most helpful site with lots of useful advice and friendly posters. So thought I'd join and say hello.
Malph.
