  • making a plot

    Ok, i have been scanning my huge garden in the hope of finding somewhere i can built a veg patch.

    i have attached a pic of outside my back door.

    i am thinking of getting the slabs and grass lifted and making a rectangle of soil. do i just cut the grass into squares to remove it and dig in some compost (soil is clay) as i am going?

    i dont want to put any borders in just in case we have to move (forces family).

    will i be okay so near the path and near the washing whizzy? i am thinking washing on the whizzy might deter birds???

    i am hoping to do something this weekend as my peas, radish, lettuce and courgettes are ready to be planted out.

    Many thanks in advance

    Yes, i would turn over the turf and bury it a spit deep (a spade's depth). It will rot down lovely. Mix in some compost if you've got some.

    It looks a nice spot, sunny. You don't want to get your washing tangled up in tall veggies though ... plant something short underneath the Whizzy

      brill, thanks for that. i am sure hubby will be pleased as he was thinking it would be a hard job with building raised beds.

      it is sunny the whole day long, the whole garden is.

      i will plant my tall things away from my whizzy.

      Thanks
