Second Level of Scaffold Board Frames


A visit to the allotment this morning to cut up the 8ft scaffold boards into 4ft and 3ft boards to make more frames for the back garden allotment. Filled 8 number 30 litre square flower buckets with woodchip.

Brought it all home and decanted from the car. Kelly helped with the scaffold boards when she got home from work, and then we placed the second level frames on the two filled first level frames.

More timber decking tiles added to the two beds. The sack of sawdust was obtained off Freecycle.


Sawdust placed in between the slats. then woodchip added on top.


2nd Level scaffold board raised bed frame lifted in place over the hoops.


Remainder of woodchips added to bring the level of woodchip to the top of the first scaffold board. Grass clippings from my sisters back garden which have been stacked for a few days and already decomposing.


Woodchips watered and then my sisters grass cuttings added to the bed.


Then spread over the beds footprint and watered in.

Four sacks of topsoil bought from Wicks yesterday, 4ft and 3ft scaffold boards brought back from the allotment to make the next lot of raised bed frames.
