Whats the point of a raised bed ?
And as an old codger myself, the less back breaking work I have to do the better.Last edited by Netraider; 6 March 2009, 09:07.Comment

It allows the soil to drain easier (good for certain soil types etc) and for it to also warm up quicker - although this does have the downfall of also cooling quicker, although only marginally. And its easier on the back. If you have really crap soil then you can fill your raised bed with imported good stuff. Not that I am both a nerdy type and also into gardening, honest guv. But no harm in just plonking them in the groundComment

I'll also be planting out my spuds, weather permitting. Good to see other sad middle aged types on here who don't waste their weekends p*ssing it up against a wall ( recently retired after 20odd years of doing it ).
Once I've planted my spuds I'll be rebonding with my kids, not sure about this bit as I've not worked away for 5 years until this week. I'm expecting a bit of grief from the older oneComment

I am well on the way to being a garden saddo, the main design aim is no bedding plants/annuals so it just needs a good hack and tidy up once a year and then gets left to it.
I can feel 'contractors' belly re-emerging after 1 week of cooked breakfastsComment

Holiday in Oz last year and I needed to buy lots of pressies, they had to be light, compact but interesting. So I brought back a whole load of seeds. They will be getting planted round about now, up and down the country
