Creating a new vegetable bed

The children are involved in as much gardening as possible. For example we have been creating a new no-dig vegetable bed.

Before the children started this term, an example had been set and a bed had been made and seeds sown. Cardboard from large boxes is laid to inhibit the growth of weeds. Then a good layer of compost is added and evenly spread.

The result of the work of children is a pleasing appearance and a good ground for direct sowing and quick growing.
