    Arb, I found it both depends on the misxture and how wet they were to start with. When I first dug mine it did crack in the first and second year [ clay soil] but as I've added stuff over the years [which is whatever comes to hand, spent tomato compost, leaves, my compost and I also leave all the stuff from dying plants on there, so the bean stuff, the tomato stuff, the pumkin and courgette stuff] , it's kept moist underneath the top layer..Also a winter of forthcoming rain will thoroughly wet what you have in there so it'll hold it better next year.
    What have you got in there? Top soil? compost? mix?
    Dusty, love your Gladiator picture on the end :) I think I'd ave eaten the whole field of beans, that's a real treat. Shame about the dog though, is this a country, it'll be fine thing?
