Getting SFG Bed 2 Ready For Pre-rooted Garlic Cloves and Onion Sets

Marshalls have kindly sent me some of their Pre Rooted Onion 'Radar' Sets & Garlic 'Rhapsody Wight' Cloves to trial over winter, along with a 44L sack of Organic Compost and 900g of Onion, Garlic & Shallot Feed Slow release Granules to trial

Beetroots and one loan sweet potato harvested from SFG Bed 2 today

This SFG bed was full to the top earlier this year when I extended it and it has sunk 4" or 100mm

4 sacks of Richmoor Compost that I picked up yesterday added to SFG Bed 2

44L sack of Marshalls Organic Compost added to the middle of the bed and spread out.

Beer traps put in the middle of the bed and around each side.

Tomorrow I will take my power planter to mix the Marshalls Organic Compost Richmoor compost and the original Mels Mix. I may take some crushed egg shells and add that to the mix as well.

Beetroots and one loan sweet potato harvested from SFG Bed 2 today

This bed was full to the top earlier this year when I extended it and it has sunk 4" or 100mm

4 sacks of Compost that I picked up yesterday added to SFG Bed 2. John arrived and saw me struggling with the sacks and grabbed a couple off the pile for me and left them on the bed for me to empty. I love my plot neighbours they are so helpful and kind.

Bed looking much better for the 4 sacks or 160 Litres of Richmoor Organic Compost that was added. 44L sack of Marshalls Organic Compost added to the middle of the bed. Another 4L but was significantly lighter than the Richmoor compost. And one can defiantly smell the farmyard manure in it.

44L sack of Marshalls Organic Compost added to the middle of the bed gradually spread out over the bed.

Slug Traps around the bed and one in the bed to hopefully catch the slugs and snails that have been attacking my beetroots
