New raised flower/veggie beds.

Camile · New raised flower/veggie beds.

Hi,

I've recently built some raised/stepped beds around the house.

They are built on a slope, as a retaining wall, so I have to backfill them ..

Would it be ok if I was putting different layers as follow:

a layer a fresh enough bedding from the goats, sheep, ducks, geese and chicke, with some straw and wood chipping ...

then a layer of well enough rotted cow manure ...

and to finish a good layer of top soil ....

knowing that the beds are about 3 blocks high on average ... and will mainly be used for herbs and flowers ...

and one the part where it's 4 blocks high, I was thinking to mix it with sand as well to make a lighter texture, as it will be for veggies as such, maybe root veggies and some courgettes.

will I get away with that ?

Thanks,
Camile

Sounds good to me Wink

.

PS you didn't warn me that the ducks don't go to bed until it gets dark . That is about an hour after the chickens so I have to go out twice to shut them all in . Don't want them back , do you ?
Only joking . MOH wouldn't let them go for anything Wink

forgot to tell you that ...

but you could do it the simple way .. lock them all once the ducks are in !

and you're not even doing that job anyway Twisted Evil

PS for everyone:

I made him realise on saturday, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, that his ducks and chickens were still in their quarters, fully locked !

so I wouldn't worry at night ! they are safe all the time this way !

PS : sorry Blowin, couldn't resist
