Installing a Raised Garden Bed and Planting Asparagus Starts and Seeds

I ordered my red and green organic asparagus starts from Ellie's Eden. I was able to get ahold of these starts through Azure which I ordered from through Sitka Food Coop. Sitka Food Coop is how I get all of my produce. I also volunteer Tuesday mornings which is delivery day. (Basically unboxing bulk fresh fruits and veggies). It's honestly..... THE BEST.
Thanks for watching,
Emma

Hi Emma, i have just seen this video about installing your Raised Beds, just for future reference once you have the spot for your bed if it's sitting on grass mark around the bed with a spade, move the bed and dig in the bed and turn over the bed area so the grass is face down and the soil facing up, next get your cardboard removing any labels and tape as these will take forever to decompose, then soak the cardboard and start filling up the bed just as you have been doing with grass, food, twigs, small branches etc then your soil/compost give it a good feed a good mix then water it in and you are all done. Hope this information helps you as i have done the same thing with my beds but i added rotten logs in as well because my beds were deeper at 18 inches. Take Care. Barry (UK)

Hi Barry! Thanks for the message. I debating flipping the sod but it was so intertwined with the salmon berries which are extremely invasive and I didn’t want to leave any trace of them as an extra precaution. In my other raised beds on the property I followed your system, used old wood, sticks, mulch and cardboard but this one ended up a bit disorganized. 😂 thanks for tuning into my channel! Where are you located in the UK?
