Raised garden beds are ideal for the family to grow your own vegetables or other plants and there are many benefits in using them including

- extending the planting season significantly as the beds will warm faster and hold the warmth
- allowing better drainage
- as the gardener doesn’t walk on the garden bed, the soil doesn’t become compacted
- the soil will remain light and loose allowing it to hold more air helping the vegetable roots to grow with less effort
- ability to reduce the number of weeds
- if using close plant spacing your raised vegetable garden bed will create a micro-climate which will contain moisture and further discourage weeds.

Fill with compost, mulch, good soil and fertilzer mix.

If you are looking for a raised garden bed or planter box see Out of the Woods Woodshop here on Neighbourly.

Update: Wallet has been found. Grandson got into the car & shifted it from the seat to the glove box. Mum never uses the glove box so didn't think to look there. Relief all round!

My Mum lost her wallet yesterday (She thinks at Northwood Shopping Centre). She is a pensioner & it contained almost her entire pension payment. She is understandably distressed. It is a small, purple wallet. If anyone finds it, please can they drop it off to Mall Management, Countdown or the local Police station.

Press columnist Johnny Moore reckons Christchurch is at risk of becoming "a place where you can't please any of the people any of the time" after punters complained about last weekend's lantern festival.

What do you think?

Do Christchurch residents need to stop moaning (or at least moan less)? Or are the complaints fair?
