Heres some pics taken today, had this plot for a month now.

Was all like this after strimming (was 5' Tall!)

This is my bed system, for easy rotation etc, gonna put slabs or bark on top of landscape fabric

this is the whole plot,

and i think these are raspberries?

Im gonna use the beds for veg, either seed bed or perenials in the centre, then use the as yet uncleared bit for fruit and small shed.
Not bad for 1 days work i suppose but its full of cooch grass and i dug it all by hand, going to dig the other half tommorow.

I'm glad you've posted the pic of what you think are raspberries, I was about to do the same! I have them popping up all over my plot, I'm hazzarding a guess at rasps there seem to be some old-looking canes around the edges but these have come a long way from them!

Keep up the good work, your plot looks fab! We've had our plot about 3 weeks and it's coming along slowly but surely, my biggest 'to do' is to put up some fence so I can collect my chooks this week.

Blumin awsome i'd say! :o - I think a re-plan on mine is on the way.
Totally agree with the "Regimental Lines" - Just like landing lights for the tree rats ehh??

BTW can anyone confirm if they are raspberies?

Nice ground plan, but I wouldn't dare try a rotovator in them

Leaf · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2008, 21:24 »

no need to rotovate, double dug, never stand on them, mulch turn mulch turn, to much rotorvating and digging is realy bad for soil, i will hwever rotate my crops
