If your raised beds are empty now's the time to improve the soil. In this video I use an homemade sprinkler to add a 'dusting' of garden lime to 'sweeten' the soil prior to adding a top mulch of chopped Seaweed and leaves. In 4 or 5 months time when I sow this bed the lime will have been washed in by the winter rains and the worms and all the micro organisms etc will have passed some of the mulch through their systems further improving the soil structure. Work with nature. It's not the only way but it's the best. This is a FREE subscription channel.
