Thanks for your interest and encouraging comments!
The raised beds total about 42sqm. I probably put about 50% manure in when I started, so roughly 4 cubic metres. Each bed is 120cm wide and 20cm deep. I’ve added another photo to show you a better view of the beds.
I also have what I call “the pumpkin patch” which is an additional area of about 60sqm, divided into 4 sections in which I rotate potatoes, pumpkins & squash, onions, sweetcorn in each quadrant each year – this frees up the raised beds for planting everything else. We have a superb climate here (summers can be very dry though) for growing everything outdoors, so I don’t have a greenhouse or tunnel.
I’ve enclosed an aerial photo to show what it looks like – you can see how hot our summers are from the dry grass in the orchard!
