We just had 10mm which was nice, but I was hoping for more.
That is 10mm more than we have had here in Westlake .Quote:

The top of the garden bed is plenty strong enough to hold me and a barrow load of soil... 😇
Probably around a metre short by the time it settles but will do for now. Very happy it’s done as we can start planting now just as it’s warming up. 👍

Whack some slow release fertiliser on top and dig it in then keep adding some good compost to take up the slack as the dirt settles [thumbsupbig]Quote:
