Raised beds conundrum...

[Paulottie]

paulottie: haven't furtled yet, they're still growing and want them to have as long of a season as possible. I think I worked out it may not be cheaper unless we get a bumper crop. Do you reckon we can save some and grow some slips from them?

Well there are some fairly big ones lurking just close to the surface...haven't dug any up yet so not sure of yield/£.... not sure I care... I'm just chuffed cos I haven't grown one before....plus I have had such a bumper year for roots and butternuts (especially as carrots and snips fly free with environmesh) I just bulk the roast roots dish up with other stuff.

The ones scrambling in the greenhouse have rooted in a few places....I am definitely potting them up before the frosts and will try and persuade Mrs P to the benefits of keeping them alive in the kitchen for the Winter.

We made ours out of dung-board. Bought it at the local farmers co-op ours is Mole Valley. Really strong and very easy to make.

What an intriguing name. What is dung-board?
