    Where is all that turf coming from and what do you do with a turf wall? I've never heard of such a thing .:)

    I'm increasing the size of the veg plot by stripping all the turf around it :)

    We've got an evil North wind cutting across the fields (We can just see the North Sea on the horizon and there's nothing inbetween that and the Polar Ice cap :eek:) A turf wall seemed the best bet to try to cut the wind out and create a microclimate to give the veg a chance.

    I've been used to growing veg in the West Country, a mile from the South Coast, where all I had to worry about was a bit of salt spray after a storm. Here it's a bit like trying to grow things with the freezer door open :eek:

    We've decided that the World has gone mad, so we're building an asylum to put it in. We'll be living outside of the enclosure :)
