Create An Instant Raised Bed Vegetable Garden

Even On Your Patio Or Deck...

A raised bed vegetable garden is a must for every would be vegetable grower. They are so flexible, make planning and management much easier, more vegetable plants can be grown per suare foot, BUT ABOVE ALL (the following reason is worthy of the capital letters) - you no longer need to do any preparatory digging each year... Hurray!

I have never ever dug over my raised garden beds, I just keep adding my home made compost, raking it into the surface and letting nature do the rest.

There is no doubting their popularity as people realise the numerous benefits of raised bed gardening.

You can select from sturdy natural timber raised beds with wood used from sustainable sources or easy to assemble plastic kits.

The advantages of raised bed vegetable gardening has become obvious to many:

• Able to grow vegetables in otherwise unsuitable soil or locations
• Improves drainage on shallow, chalky, stony or heavy soils
• Increased soil depth enables deeper root growth thus healthier growing vegetables
• Tunnels, frames or clotches can easily be erected over beds
• No need to walk on the soil thus eliminates compaction
• Raised garden beds come in varying heights enabling a comfortable work height
• Great for wheel chair users and folk suffering from back troubles

Harrod Horticultural have thought of everything to make your raised bed vegetable garden experience a genuinely enjoyable one even if you think you haven't the space with their:

• Raised Garden Beds
• Raised Garden Beds in Small Spaces
• Raised Garden Beds Accessories

Net Yourself a Bumper Harvest - Keep Out Garden Pests...

Garden netting is very effective in keeping garden pests from your growing vegetables and should be very much a part of your vegetable gardening pest control equipment. It is very effective in guarding against such animals as birds, deer, rabbits, foxes, badgers etc.

Garden pests are an irritation at best and are downright destructive at worst. Believe me I speak from experience, my tail of woe refers to those lovely cuddly critters called cat's.

Before I went in to have my evening meal recently I was admiring a couple of rows of Russian Kale seedlings which were growing on strong and clean, I was very pleased with them.

An hour or so later I came back out and went to the same raised garden bed, to my horror and frustration a cat had dug its toilet right in the middle of the two rows of my kale vegetable plants destroying a third of both rows.

Fortunately this episode had a happy ending as I was able to transplant some of the thinnings from other areas in the row to fill the gaps - after removing the cat's droppings.

It just illustrates how you should always be on your guard and that prevention really is better than cure.

But garden netting isn't only effective against larger animals, using the right grade you will also keep your vegetable plants clear of smaller plant pests as butterflies, moths, aphids, onion or cabbage root flies etc.

Harrod Horticultural supply a large range of garden netting of different grades along with Extra Value Saver Packs.

• Anti bird Netting
• Soft Butterfly Netting
• Heavy Duty Butterfly Netting
• Pigeon Netting
• Insect Mesh Netting
• Ultra fine Insect Mesh Netting

Even experienced gardeners don't always take their own advice - last year I didn't net my sprouts (too lazy probably) thinking that I would be vigilant and 'pick and squish' those megga garden pests, the catterpillars. I was wrong, I got a crop but it's was drastically reduced. It won't happen this year - like a rainy day at The Oval, the covers have gone back on.

Fruit Cages - A Must-Have In Your Gardening Pest Control Arsenal...

Soft fruit is one of those exceptional pleasures that we can enjoy right in our own back yards. There is little to compare to the taste of fresh strawberries or raspberries picked from the plant and consumed within moments.

As I look out of my window at the pigeons, blackbirds, varieties of finches and starlings, I can see just by the glint in their eyes as they perch longingly above or amongst my growing raspberry canes, they too can't wait to massacre these delights.

Fruit cages are the perfect deterent against these garden pests though, and Harrod Horticultural have an amazing variety of them for you to browse and purchase.
