This weekend marked the completion of the construction of the raised bed for my first vegetable patch. I shall attach photos however the beauty of the bed is that it has been built much higher than the standard to enable me to have easier access to the soil for planting, sowing, digging etc. My father-in-law tackled the project of building the bed with vigour as one of his first tasks after retirement, however he underestimated the amount of top soil required and the resulting hard physical excercise filling the raised bed!
