We kindly got given some fruit bushes from a couple down the road that were moving house so looking for a home for a few shrub. Once we were proud owners of some autumn fruiting raspberries, current bushes, a cultivated Blackberry and a Jostaberry (Gooseberry/ Currant cross) all coming out of dormancy they needed a home!
So we set to work in bulding the long raised bed down over the french drain, making doubly sure that we wont have any waterlogging issues. Once a bit a of rubble filled in in french drain, soil back on top we added a to dressing of last years compost. The compost was really good, I have never managed to make compost "properly" before.
We then put the plants in, we also got given the old supports for the rasberries, so we installed that as well.
The rest of the bed will be summer fruiting raspberries and asparagus.
