Another Day Another Bed

Hi All,

Another bed in today, bed O as it is on the map I have not yet uploaded...Sorry... Anyhow here it is in all it's glory (2hours graft)..

Took out around 8-10 bramble stumps...Thing about bramble stumps is they don't go deep, typically, but they do spread wide, so making it difficult to pull them out, but once you get underneath them it is relatively easy.. Here is the amount of roots taken out...


Some more plant pictures...Here is one of the cabbages planted three weeks ago...Survived the current winter weather well...

Couple of weeks time it'll look like the other cabbages quite large and healthy. Rich has finished the greenhouse, the temperature difference is good, i went in there today and warmed up quite quickly...He put in the louvers in we'll put auto openers on those later in the year as things will bake inside otherwise..
The pit in the middle is for the heatsink, where we may have a pipe coming up out sucking down the hot air then recirculating it back up to the roof again, apparently helps the temperature variations.

We'll need another opener for the opener on the left here..

Not bad for an e-bay purchase...

Finally looking at the culvert we did a lot of work in clearing this out, it is now totally cleared at the top anyhow, underneath it is still quite muddy..Drains out into a lake at the back of the sub-station on an industrial estate..

So hopefully it won't overflow, the more mud we take out the more water it will hold, so it should reduce the ability to spill over..

Next time, the asparagus bed...
