Mini veg grow well in raised beds:
raised-bed
- beds 1metre wide can be tended from each side
- soil does not have to be trodden on – allowing a perfectly structured soil
- beds at least 1 m high keep pests away – carrot flies cannot fly higher than 0.7metres
- beds are easy to cover with plastic to warm up the soil before planting
- beds are easy to cover with enviromesh to keep the bugs, butterflies & other pests off
- beds are easy to cover with netting to keep birds off
- vegetables are planted close together, and so cover the ground, which means that less weeds will grow. This reduces competition for veg and means less weeding
- raised beds are easier to water thoroughly
