Bed finish / prepared for planting

Slight change of plan - cut down the tall posts on the raised beds, with a view to making all of them short (sensible?) - useful as we will be needing more really soon. Filled the second one which was installed the other day with 9 x 50 l bags of compost - after digging over the soil underneath which had got somewhat compacted:



9 bags not an accident - as the bed is 4.5 square metres this should make it around 10 cm deep - we later pressed it down by walking along a board, so the soil level is a little below the top of the wood, but it now looks like a raised bed. Will be planting peas in there tomorrow...
