Freecycle Daleks & Raised Beds

Two Daleks picked up today won on Freecycle yesterday, one collected in the morning before going to the allotment and the other collected after lunch and dropped down to the allotment. These will replace the older less well made compost bins that have become brittle and have started splitting, and I'm going to squeeze in a couple more and I'm going to replace the tumbling composter as it's a pain to keep turning it.  .   

An additional wheel barrow load of woodchips were added to the bottom frame. I then removed the banding on the 1.2m (4ft) scaffold boards and screwed the next raised bed frame together, and placed it on top of the base frame.

I've laid a couple of 900mm (3ft) scaffold boards to show how wide the path will be between the two new raised beds placed either end of the old 2.4m x1.2m bed footprint.  


Two scaffolding board raised bed frames brings the height of the raised bed up to 450mm (18") from the surrounding paths. The narrow beds being 900mm wide which will make leaning over the bed to work it easier than 1200mm wide beds.
