Building the new beds

Incredible Edibles sheltered from today's storm and started to assemble the first of our five new planting beds. The team tried all possible configurations, finally deciding that long and thin was best so you could reach and weed all of the bed easily. It also looked like a boat.

Who said teenagers don't know how to make a bed?

There was a pleasing amount of mathematics involved in the conversations as the builder/gardeners discussed the comment that whatever shape we used, the area would be the same. Is this true? Maybe the diagrams below will help:

Let's hope for better weather when it comes to locating and filling the beds after the break.

Have a great holiday everyone.
