Happy new year to all forum users and good evening
New member here and i am after some advice from those in the know
I have had my allotment for around 18 months and have in the last fortnight put in two raised beds. One is approx 2 feet high and one is approx 1.5 feet high
My underlying ground is very gently sloped and whilst not overly heavy, is more clay than anything else
The question is - What is the best material/combination of materials to use to fill my beds? They will both be used for annual veg in a rotation
At this point I will add that I have access to unlimited free manure in various stages of decay, unlimited seaweed and very cheap topsoil
Especially interested to hear from members who have had their own raised beds from scratch
Thanks for your time
James
