Our raised bed project, Kyle and the team milled our lovely larch for the 1metre x1.5metre x300mm raised beds for the tai Calon residents who registered for the project and our first 4 families came up to see the prototype, Jane and Alyson put it together, we lined it with cardboard and then filled it with woodchip well rotted manure and Sheep fleece followed by compost
