Raised Bed Preparation
It’s early in the new year, and a new year means new project growth and more of everything we did before: including raised beds. Having received more frames to use as raised beds, preparation has started to get them up and going, ready for early Summer veg.
Where do we Source our Raised Beds?
Our raised beds actually didn’t start out as raised beds at all. They are designed to hold car batteries! Though, when they are no longer needed, the simple wooden frames with metal hinges make for brilliant raised beds, and so they are generously donated to us with the help of the Merseyside Police, who transport and move the frames in their van.
A Splash of Colour
When we receive the wooden frames, they’re perfectly functional, but we like to paint them to add a little bit of our own touch. After all, it’s a bit of fun for whoever wants to paint them, and can also help us to delegate certain coloured beds to certain areas and certain vegetables.
Therapeutic Horticulture Team
This time around, it was Michael and our Therapeutic Horticulture program attendees doing the painting, and they did a great job. The raised beds are all ready to go and start their new repurposed lives.
