Lyn, yep I can firm it down well. the beds will only be 25cm above ground and I've got clay soil underneath the turf I've just removed so I can get in and jump about a bit.
Thanks everyone for your help, any advice on planting In Between?
Thanks Lyn, that's the exact same stuff that the greenhouse shade kit is made from so I will use that. It's the right size too which is a bonus I've got lots of pebbles about the size of a tennis ball I was going to use to weigh it down all the way round, good enough?
I'll put some radishes in when I get it made, the plants I've grown are still really small

I bought a roll from Amazon, not expensive and well worth it.
With cabbages, you have to make sure the ground is very well trodden down, they like very firm ground, can you do that with your raised bed.
Yep, 7mm holes max.

This is what you need Sophie, nothing gets past this, make sure it's well sealed to the soil, they get in any tiny gap.
