When I lived in smaller houses with tiny gardens I would grow them in amongst the flowerbeds, the tomatoes dwarfed the other plants and the sweetcorn - well that just looked ridiculous, so to have a dedicated patch to play with, tend, grow and experiment in really is my idea of heaven!
19 sleepers, 4 tonnes of soil and lots of sweat, blisters and a hot bath later, we created this:
Above: taken first thing in the morning there is even a little frost on our lovely veggie patch!
My little secrets:
4 tonnes of soil: Have a very fit and lovely boy to shovel and move it all ;)
19 sleepers: Same as above!
Fixings: Fix the sleepers together with nail plates and long decking screws (Screwfix - good for next day delivery!)
Sourcing these items: google search lots of places, don't dismiss those that are far away as they sometimes have local distribution points. Ask for a discount - it worked for me!
