And here is the finnished bed. The spuds ahve been covered over with a thick layer of old braken, gatherd from the wetland, and topped off with a layer of comfrey. This will rot down nicely as the spuds grow up through it, and exclue any weeds from getting a look in. When we harvest the spuds later, all the goodness will get dug into the soil. In Mike's scheme of things you would follow on from this with onions and garlic next, which we can plant in the autumn.
