We had raised beds for some years but the wood finally rotted. I think I mentioned it before. We have decided where the fruit trees are to do away with beds and just mulch round the bottom of each bush. This creates a little more mowing, but a lot less weeding, and it is easier to mow without the raised beds as they made too many tight corners to manoeuvre the mower around - you do have to be careful now not to mow things in the beds!
Still a lot of weeding to do here, but you can kind of see the beds. We will grow veg at this end (there is one remaining raised one with strawberries in that will eventually move, probably to the bank behind)
This is the end with the fruit. You can see where the beds were, we hope the raised bits of ground will go away if we just keep mowing!
