You know I never actually thought about garlic, may give it a think!
Just been and added all the Multi Purpose I had which was about 1 and 2/3 of a bag, doesn't seem to have made that much difference lol Dug it over as well as I could. Do you think I need to add some more or will this amount in the bed be enough?
Looks full up enough to me. A wee bit below the top is good as helps with a bit if protection from any wind and also watering - if it's too full it'll slop all over the top. If you do decide to do carrots I'd suggest garlic or onions as a great accompaniment as the smell confuses the naughty carrot fly. A few radishes and quick and v east too. Good luck! Post us some more pictures when its up n running!
I found some compressed Coir which makes 10 litres of compost and has the added ability to break down and help with soil condition. I also use it for seeds and young plants. It costs 99p at your local £ shop. That's where I got my blueberry, rhubarb and lots of other plants. They do blood fish and bone, containers, netting and all sorts of useful stuff. The Coir also helps with water retention.

Brilliant, my garden does catch the wind quite a lot so it's a good job I didn't fill it all the way up!
I shall of course share photo's when it's got going, just need to start sowing but I'm nervous about doing the first move haha
