Reply To: New garden – sloping and bumpy ground

[Allan Took]

Hi Rose , I have an allotment in the Peak District at an altitude of 800 feet. It is also on a south facing slope(good) about 8 feet higher at the top than the bottom. I do not seem to have any problems caused by the slope itself other than pushing a wheelbarrow up. I run my beds (4 feet wide) up and down the slope and it seems to work well. I converted to no dig last year and for the first time in 40 years of growing veg I never had the hoe out and the plot is 25×12 yards. I use well rotted horse manure for compost
