Hi,
I'm about to build a raised bed, 5m (16') long by 1.2m (4') wide and am just wondering if that is too wide?
i'll have access to both sides and am thinking of fitting in 4 rows of vegetable plants here.
will that be ok?
it will be a mix of peas, carrots, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and short sunflowers.
the raised bed will also have a hoop tunnel on it covered with fiber cloth and will have a drip hose going along each row.
or would one drip hose between the rows be enough?
another question is that the 'raised' part is just going to be a 45x220 (2" x 9") frame just on top of the existing grass.
should i remove the grass first or keep it or keep AND put down a ground cloth?
please note that the grass layer is only about 10cm thick then there is a bunch of old coal underneath.
seems they had an old kolmila (charcoal kiln) right next to our house way back in the day and sadly, this is the only area we have to put the garden.
Thanks!
