Another great video! My raised bed is part of a project in the block of flats that I live in (I'm in London) so I had zero control over how they were built and filled, hence the heavy clay and sand "soil" that we are working with. In addition the beds were overfilled and compacted so I bought a bunch of grow bags for the excess soil we removed. Just from one 2.5m X 1.5m bed we filled 8 ten gallon bags!
Eventually we will amend that soil as well to grow potatoes, carrots, maybe some different varieties of cherry tomatoes. Any other suggestions for things we might grow in them? Do you think a fruit tree might grow in a grow bag , in a block of flats in the middle of London?
Thanks in advance 👍🏾
Mediterranean herb garden! That sounds like something I should try next year. Will you do a video series on how you choose to plant it out and harvest?
Hi there! I'm new to your channel and really enjoyed this video. Such great tips! Love the one about using furring strips and yarn as tomato supports. Much more cost-effective than metal stakes/posts (which I've used in the past). The cheap furring strips seem like a perfectly good option, especially when getting started. I hope you get great results! Thanks for sharing these tips! Angela
Dollar seed company! I'll have to try them out!
