Experiment: Late Potatoes in Raised Beds

This is an experiment to grow some late potatoes in no-dig raised beds. The patch of land has been covered with cardboard over the winter and the weeds have died down nicely. 30 wheelbarrow trips to get enough compost for 6 raised beds later, voila:

  After getting the unchitted potatoes (waxy varieties) into the ground, right on top in the middle, I covered them with grass clippings as mulch to retain moisture.

Here you can see some more individual raised heaps for courgettes, marrows and pumpkins.
Now let's wait and see...
