Lazy beds update

Back in March, I proposed a method for growing potatoes which required minimal work to accomplish, and which in theory would prepare a plot of land for further vegetable growing. So how is this working out? For me, not wonderfully – partly because I reused bits of plastic from silage, and partly because the slugs got a lot of the spuds. A lot of the seed spuds I got from seedsavers were very small too, which might have been a factor.

However, Martin (from www.lithicworks.com) tried out the lazy method with better quality plastic and here is the result!



 

It will be interesting to see how his yields are, and how the bed works for growing something else next year.
