 One of the most important things in any vegetable garden is getting your soil right. Recent research has shown that annual ploughing and digging can disturb the microorganisms within the soil. Turning over the soil will help new vegetable plots to become aerated and relieve any compaction. Here I have turned the soil once, built basic raised beds with fencing gravel boards and filled to the top with nitrogen rich compost. This is the first stage of the Ecospaces Urban farm I am looking forward to a productive season.
