About this Garden Plan

Plot one of two. A small village plot made up of upcycled bits and bobs plus a cheap walk in polytunnel. Mainly raised beds and planters. Old motorcycle tyres used for climbing beans. Bean arch made from reclaimed dome tent poles and scrap timber. Raised beds made from scrap planks of wood. Planters made from old picnic bench seats. Clay soil augmented with fallen leaves, old hay, manure and compost. Now soil is fairly free draining.
