Reply To: New raised beds on dug soil

[Leif]

I didn’t use beds originally,but the compost tended to spill over onto the simple granite paths I made. So now I have 4″ treated boards around the beds, just to retain the compost. It works well and looks neat. My soil is heavy stony soil. All but salsify have done well. The salsify has been a bit pathetic with lots of branching, perhaps the compost was too hot.
