    Yep, totally agree with the use of sticks to fill up the bottom of raised beds - unfortunately I don't have many as my dogs like to shred them into tiny pieces. I might have some cardboard to throw in but I am going to need quite a bit to use for making templates for the van. What I do have is gravel! lol Lots and lots of the stuff. 😞 Technically I should avoid using it but honestly I am going to do it anyway as it will clear the space where I eventually want a greenhouse.

    First job though it more painting of the raised beds. They are already heat treated so the painting is for cosmetic purposes on the outside rather than protecting the wood from the soil, but it still takes time and energy to do! It is going to be a glorious day weather wise so I just need to grab some breakfast and coffee and crack on but my gosh do i already ache all over. It will be worth it. Just need to push through!
