The secret to a successful school vegetable garden
The secret to an easy to manage vegetable garden is using raised beds, the right soil mix and a selection of seeds which are easy to grow and that fit into your term time. Here's what we recommend and why:
Timber Raised Vegetable Beds.
Raised vegetable beds are the easiest and most easy to manage way of creating a vegetable garden. All our beds are treated with a safe timber preservative giving them a life of over 10 years. The beds are re-used every season so after the first year the yearly costs are minimal. Our beds are easy to construct and come with instructions and support videos.
Vegetable Soil Mix.
The secret to growing vegetables easily is using a well fed soil. Vegetables are far hungrier than ornamental plants and need a rich soil to thrive. Healthy, well fed plants will grow quicker and fend of attack from pests and diseases much better. A good soil is absolutely crucial.
Seeds and Seedling Plants.
We can provide you with the correct varieties for growing in the time you have available. Clearly it is important that the vegetables you sow are ready within the term time, this can be difficult to judge if you are new to vegetable growing. We also deliver young vegetable plants mail order if you need to get growing a little quicker or if you have an disasters at your seed sowing stage!
