    I expect there’ll be some persistent grass, but it shouldn’t be too bad so long as I keep on removing as much as possible when it appears. My other established bed has the grass growing out of the seams issue, so I’m somewhat used to it I suppose, lol.

    Thanks! I put a layer of cardboard down first to kill off the grass, which will all compost down so the roots can access the undisturbed soil below.

    No burrowing pest issues here, thankfully, mainly badgers and foxes that I have to keep off with the mesh hoops you can just see on the furthest beds.

    Thanks! These work out at about £80 per bed. But they absolutely could have been done much cheaper!

    I bought brand new pallet collars, but used ones are probably available with a bit of searching. I’d already used all my home made compost in another higher bed, so had to buy all of what went into these.
