The finished bed, planted out with kale, lettuce, purple cauliflower, tree onions and bok choy.

Captain Awesome on the final stage, bringing (home made) mulch

Bastien (alias Awesome) dismantled the old bed, and removed all the soil. Then he built the new ones, and lined the sides with plastic. He mixed the old soil with fresh compost and cow pooey mud from the paddock and spread that in the bed. Then he put bags of mature compost on top, and a thick (10cm) layer of mulch on top.

Comparison of old vegie bed #2 with new vegie bed #3.

The old beds were made from untreated pine sleepers which we got for free. We knew they wouldn't last, but we got a good 5 years from them. We did not think to line them with plastic, so they fell apart even quicker.
