Changing existing north east facing decking area into a raised bed àrea.
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2019 8:57 pm
The joists under the decking had rotted, so decided just to take out and refurb the frame and turn back into a raised growing area, reusing the actual decking to create the raised beds.
Underneath the decking is all old rubble.
what would you all recommend to give me maximum growing in a north east facing garden,it gets the sun first thing and late afternoon and evening.
I was thinking of putting a non permeable base down and topping with soil and green manure,
a)How do i go around best drainage?
B) Is there anything else i need to do to maximise what i grow.
C) Does it matter if i run the beds width or lengthways?
D) What would you recommend planting for a good yield in this position.
All help greatly appreciated x
