We have had our garden since 2002, and built two raised vegetable beds in the first year, which are about 5’ x 10’ each. We have heavy clay soil, with big seams of the stuff pretty close to the surface. The first few years of digging were very hard work, but the beds are much easier to maintain now, due to copious amounts of organic matter being added at every opportunity.
The garden has acidic siol but after 5 years of adding manure and garden compost to the vegetable beds the structure and ph have improved a great deal .. we feel we can try brasicas again.
An outdoor organic garden located in Leeds, United Kingdom, mark_and_lou's Vegetable garden currently contains 9 plants.
This is a Vegetable garden that is known to be in USDA Hardiness Zone 5. It has mainly Clay soil and receives Partial Sun light.Photos
