Reply To: How to grow nice Parsnips and not ugly octopus looking

[Jacqui]

Thanks Cleansweep for the advice

I have a 2 very large pots and so am planning to fill them with good compost and grow carrots in one and parsnips in the other this year just to prove to myself that they are forking due to stones in the soil in the beds.
Now I have switched to no dig, hopefully over the years the stones in the soil should be buried under layers of garden compost/manures.
However I am worried that the level of soil in the deep beds will increase year on year and will become higher that the sides?
The trees in the neighbour’s garden have now been cut back since this photo which should let more light and rain onto my vegetable garden.
