We've got a large raised patch for growing veggies in that my OH built last year. We grew a fair amount in it successfully last year and am hoping to continue the success this year.
However it seems that all the rocks and pebbles have now found their way to the surface. I spent a painstaking Saturday a few weeks ago raking through and removing the larger ones but now we're just left with small ones approx the size of a £1.
I'm hoping to start planting out and sowing some stuff this weekend but these pebbles are concerning me - will they hamper the growth of my plants (sweetcorn, carrots, peas, beans, spinach)??
If needs be then I'll sit and remove them but there are quite a few on the surface and it may take a while. I'm thinking of buying a cheap colander and sifting the soil through that but even that will take ages!
Any advice gladly received!! Thanks in advance.
