I am completely new to growing veg, so please be gentle
I have levelled out some of the hillside on a south facing slope in our bottom field, I went a bit nuts really as I always do with a digger cos thats the easy bit.
We dont really have any topsoil and a clay mess underneath it (which is now what I am down too).
I mainly want to grow root veg as we have hundreds of rabbits and lots of wind.
I plan to make raised beds out of pallets and will obviously need to fill them with topsoil (we can only get a small vehicles up to the farm so a lorry load is out the question and so I need to know about depths of soil)
How deep would the pallets/topsoil need to be in order to grow things like potatoes, swede, parsnips, sweet potatoes, beetroot, radishes? And what yeilds would I get if I planted them say in a raised garden that was 10m x 1m?
Also is there anything else I could grow that would not be blown away or eaten by rabbits?
Thanks
Barry
Mmm and I want carrots!!! Will rabbits dig them out? Are ll root veg going to be eaten by rabbits? Do I need a rabbit fence?
