Did you know that all my products are made with the highest quality, pressure treated decking wood?

Why not make them out of something cheaper?

While many others will use more affordable alternatives like pallet or other unprotected wood products, I want to offer products that are built to last!

I’m enjoying the third year of my own raised beds and I want my customers to get many years enjoying their own raised beds like I do.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mums out there. This is a very special year for me as it’s my first as a mother having welcomed Arthur to the world in December.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Busy day today! We’ve decided to overhaul one of our beds and plan on filling it with hydrangeas and lavender.

First though, the big job of clearing the bed. After a few hours of hard work it’s ready for covering and bark!

What would you plant? Comment below!

I am so excited to launch my new website woodworkbyemily.co.uk!

I enjoyed making raised bed and planters last year that I thought having website would be a good addition to my little business. I’m even looking into being able to order online!

If you can help a small business out by liking and sharing my page to your friends and if you know anyone who would like a raised bed or planter please point them in my direction!

What’s your favourite vegetable to grow in the garden? Mine is definitely either unusual tomato variéties or runner beans!!

🌱📚 Although it might not be the exact moment to start sowing veggies, it’s the perfect opportunity to cultivate your planting wisdom! Explore these companion planting combinations tailored for raised bed gardening in preparation for the upcoming growing season:

1. Tomatoes and Basil:
🍅🌿 Plant basil alongside tomatoes in your raised bed garden. Basil acts as a natural pest repellent for tomatoes while enhancing their flavour. Consider this dynamic duo when planning your future vegetable patch!

2. Carrots and Onions:
🥕🧅 Pair carrots with onions in your raised bed. Onions ward off carrot flies and add flavour to carrots. It’s an ideal pairing to consider when you’re ready to kick off your vegetable growing endeavours next year

3. Lettuce and Tall Plants (e.g., Peas or Beans):
🥬🌱 Experiment with intercropping lettuce with tall plants like peas or beans. Lettuce benefits from shade provided by taller plants while receiving a nutrient boost from the nitrogen-fixing peas or beans.

4. Cucumbers and Radishes:
🥒🌼 Try planting radishes alongside cucumbers. Radishes act as a natural deterrent for cucumber beetles, while their faster growth allows efficient space utilisation in your raised bed.

5. Beans and Corn:
🌽🌱 Explore the “Three Sisters” technique by planting beans alongside corn. The beans provide nitrogen for the corn, and the corn offers a climbing structure for beans. Add squash to create a beneficial trio that suppresses weeds and retains moisture.

While a lot of us are enjoying a quieter period between Christmas and New Year, why not use this time to enhance your gardening knowledge and plan for the flourishing garden you could soon be cultivating.

Share your favourite planting tips and experiences with these companions in the comments below! While it might not be the planting season just yet, the time invested in learning now will yield amazing harvests next year ! 🌿📖
