Raising SFG Bed 1

 

There was some nice cloud cover this morning so work continued on making the Square Foot Gardening Beds higher so that I can get at them for planting and weeding

I completed excavating the Mels Mix from Square Foot Garden Bed 1 on Plot 1

All the Mels Mix removed and placed in square flower buckets Pulled as many mares tail roots that I could

Magic Cardboard added and watered in place 

First barrow load of woodchip from the drop off and pick up area 

Six wheelbarrow loads of woodchip later

Watered in the woodchip to make it bed down on top of the cardboard and to soften up the cardboard so it interfaces with the ground under better

Ended up putting two hoses on the pile whilst I put the tools away and locked up to go home for a late lunch.

Donated grass cuttings from my sisters back garden, which will go on top of the woodchips in the SFG raised bed once I've completed assembling the next frame and added some more woodchips.
