My garden is a Fox run to the park behind it. But they love to stop in mine and randomly dig in the raised beds, the little buggers! So an antifox net has been installed
Thanks Earl20, everything is coming along nicely at the moment, had my 1st crop of beans and the peas are flowering, getting a bit sick of salad for dinner every night though
Hi James,
The decking has worked out well. All i have done is cut some fence posts and put them in each corner then half way down, fixed the frame with screws, then moved them into place and then secured them with some long nails.
I used decking as i had to remove it from my house as the previous owner had fixed it above the damp proof course. So didnt really research costs, but i have a feeling that ti would be cheaper than gravel boards or similar.

So a little update. Raised beds working well. one planted out with Salad leaves and the other has Tomatoes, Sweetcorn (mini) Peas, Beans, Aubergine.
@Alice, not really much differance between Compist and topsoil. I have found that topsoil has a little more things added to it.
That's pretty impresive Steve
