The first raised bed have been build. Green manure have been planted to prepare the beds for the new year. After building the bed I dug it out and filled it with annual weeds, hedge cutting and vegetable peelings. For good measure I stuck in some nails to provide some iron.

The beds were constucted from pallets that was broken up using crowbars. Some pieces of wood were joined together to form the ends.A week's growth of green manure. A mixture of

• Field Beans Vicia Faba,
• Lucerne (Alfafa) Medicago Sativa,
• Vetches(Tares) Vicia Sativa,
• Hungarian Rye Secala Cereale and
• Trefoil Medicago Lupilina were used.

I used alternating rows for the beans and tares. The trefoil and alfafa were sows liberaly. They have to fight it out between themselves.
Hungarian Rye
Eight weeks of growth will bring us to the new year. At that stage I plan to chop off most growth and end Jan dig it in.

In the first bed will go some mammoth onions.
