I changed to the raised bed system and never looked back. Its brilliant. Make my own compost from garden waste and kitchen scraps. Volcanic rock ash, blood bone and fish meal, dried seaweed and well rotted farm manure are good additives.

Growing potatoes in bags this year as I don't need many for myself and digging them out is such a chore - there are always a few that get left behind and re-sprout. Interesting experiment. Hope we get good weather.

BE CAREFUL with horseradish - very invasive. Took me hours to dig out all the roots recently, its now confined to a big pot.
