I've just ordered a TZ7 panasonic camera which takes great video so I'm thinking about doing a blog so people can see what i'm doing, still unsure if it's a good idea

That would be a really great idea, then you can show us 'Virgin greenfingers' if we're doing it right lol!

Go for it hon:money:

I'll send some more emails out today. Once I've made a cake and cup of tea.

If any ones interested due to ill health I'm changing my plot over to beds so that i can get around my plot a bit easier. So i will be making another planting plan using the bed system, which does increase productivity. I'm amazed at how much I harvest from the three beds in the polytunnel.

If you already have my planting plan then looking at the top section beind the polytunnel and shed there will be 6 beds on the right side and 7 on the left side. With climbing french beans still running along the top of the plot in a single row which is about 50 plants.

The beds will be 12ft x 4ft with each bed giving me a 48 square foot planting area. As they are beds acan can be reached by all sides then when planting I can plant everything a bit closer.

I'm not sure what I will be doing at the front of the plot as I have to remember that the polytunnel cover will need changing so have to make sure there is enough space around the outside for people to stand to fix the cover.

So maybe a few small 10ft x 4ft beds I reckon four along the ploytunnel and maybe 2 more 12ft x 4ft beds at the front of the plot.

The paths will be about 18 inches wide and made from newspapers about 8 pages thick, watered to bond together and then covered with wood chip.

The cost is £81.84 which includes the slab wood, wood for stakes and a delivery of wood chip from the local timber yard.

If anyone want a copy of the new plan let me know your email and I'll send it when I've done it. Being a bed system it will be eay to cut down to size for those of you with smaller veg plots.

Due to over wintering crops I hop to get 6 beds made up this weekend and maybe some at the front of the plot next month. The last to be made will be behind the Polytunnel as all tha cabbage family are planted there so I won't be able to do those until next spring.
