By letting me pick your brain okay?  No, seriously, where do I sign up as an apprentice? Wax on, wax off. |
Ha ha
I'm desperate for more space and intend to free up some ground this year by using a fence panel as a salad garden
It might be nice if the other forum users give it a go, and see what we can come up with?
Ok here goes...
Take a large plastic heavy duty dust sheet and afix to the fence panel. This is to prevent it rotting.
Now get a roll of chicken wire, or heavy duty plastic bean mesh, and mustering all your skill, make some deep pockets, 12" deep should be enough.
Fit one at the top of the panel, one in the middle, and one at the bottom. Make sure you're fitting to the posts either side of the panel as they will take the weight, and not the panel itself.
Line pockets with more dust sheet, or old wooly jumpers, and fill with good light free draining compost.
Now, sow your seeds
I did a drawing. I'm not Leonardo but I hope you get the jist.
