Tris,
This is a wonderful little book, I hope to take my raised beds to another level, a bit like Charles did this last winter. Where he used 3’/900mm high Hot Beds to grow & propagate. I have a lemon tree which I put in a poly-tunnel, in a poly-tunnel last winter & heated it @ great expense.

Now the lemon tree is due to go ‘in’ now, but this year I’m going to try & build a raised hot bed to protect/heat the lemon tree for the winter without the ‘Lecki’ company, having to give me a huge bill next spring.

So my local farmer will supply the ‘muck’ to a demountable able to grow Hot-Bed. Yes the Lemon tree is growing so next year the H-B needs to be a little bigger.

This is probably very mad, but I do love lemon trees! & hopefully I get a few more lemons next year than this year.
