Ok now I think I know what has been "tapping the side of the bowl". All winter we have watched seagulls padding round the garden trying to simulate rain to get the worms to come up. It's been incessant really. It must be them,..... and the vibrating rain, and my chooks, and the tree roots, and the worms.

Depends on what they are! If they are deep rooting, they might get into trouble. You certainly won't get 10 inch parsnips from that ground... Also, make sure they get enough water. If the ground is so shallow, they can't reach water at a lower level if we get a dry period. (OK, I know, not in the near future!

might be worth building 'up' (a raised bed) so you can get more depth of soilMirrie wrote:Hi, I spent a while digging a new veg plot and had a few stones...trouble is after 5inch down the ground is compacted with stones-I have planted some seedlings in there (cause i'm running outta room!!) Do you think they will grow? ~They have been out there bout 3weeks and seem fine so far...?
