Here is two of the finished garden beds. The shade cloth is stapled on one side and the other is stapled to a piece of wood. This means that when the weather is sunny I can lift the shade cloth up. I made a template of the half circle for the end and sewed in a zip so that it give a bit of give when the shade cloth is lifted. I sewed this by using crochet cotton using a blind stitch. Now I am going to do that with the other ends as it is much neater finish. Eileen helped me to finish the second bed. We attached black poly pipe on top of the arch, which will be the sprinkler system. My brother Bernard gave me some extra black poly pipe as I did not have enough and told me to soak the end in boiling water. This enabled the fittings to go on with ease. I have attached a large riser into where there was a sprinkler and joined this to the hose on top and will add little sprays. I will keep you posted as to how the vegies fare.
