If you are in any doubt then lay out your 1” galvanized wire mesh at the base of the bed, before putting in your drainage level – better safe than sorry ! Also a layer of tough weed suppressant material at this stage, laid over the mesh will help keep out the burrowers

Once you have laid out your mesh, then put in the layer of drainage as described above. If you have a well-drained soil around you, or under the bed then this can naturally be adapted to suit.

The drainage should then be layered over with 3-4 inches of soil mixed with compost.

The compost itself, will largely depend on what you are about to grow. For instance, if you are growing carrots or parsnips, then a light loamy compost with a good mix of sand may be required. Potatoes or leeks may require a good bed of well-rotted manure layered over the soil at the base.
