Create track and use the Square Foot Gardening system for:-

  • wheelchair-bound disabled to use for radio-controlled models on the ground-level of the garden
  • wheelchair-bound children/adults to maintain and replant the raised beds, whilst sitting with their knees under each raised bed
  • school pupils to learn to grow plants
  • wheelchair supported children/adults recovering in hospital, rest or care home to go outside, view them and/or maintain those beds themselves
  • transport the raised bed into the patient's room, so that the patient can admire close-up what they normally see outside from their bed; and then for them to maintain or simply view for a while before that raised bed is returned outside that same day
  • infirm children, adults or pensioners to maintain and replant the raised beds, when they do not need to kneel down, bend their knees or reach above their shoulders

Soft Fruit Climbers

Standard Wooden Raised Beds from Harrod Horticultural are available in
24 x 48 inch (60 x 120 cms) x 36 inch high and
48 x 48 inch (120 x 120 cms) x 29 inch high. They both come available with 6 inch (15 cms) and 12 inch (30 cms) depth of raised bed. The wood is guaranteed for 3 years.

The 24 x 48 inch with 12 inch growing depth Raised Bed can be used round the boundary for those Soft Fruit Bushes, Soft Fruit Climbers and Top Fruit.

If the legs have castors, then these 24 inch wide Raised Beds containing vegetables or flowers can be wheeled inside the house, school, hospital or care home to the family, pupil, patient or resident.

Both sizes of Raised Bed - using either depth of compost - can be used in the Flower Bed, Vegetable Bed or Grasses Beds.

------------

Bilting Farm recycled mushroom boxes are 4ft x 4ft and ideally suited for use as raised beds. They are on legs approximately 1ft high so easily accessible to children and adults including those with physical disabilities.

The wooden boxes are recycled mushroom growing trays made from Portuguese Pine which has high resin content so the boxes will not rot. They can be sited on concrete and can be moved if necessary.

Square Foot gardening is a uniquely simplified method of gardening. Less weeding and digging with great results.

Square foot gardening can enhance the school environment and encourage children to take an interest in growing things.

Many schools have adopted this method of dividing each 4ft box into 16 squares.

Each child can then be responsible for a ‘square foot’ plot and grow flowers, herbs or vegetables. The boxes could also form part of a design adopted by a class and then planted in that style .

There are endless learning opportunities and different applications for the miniature allotments.

"A fibreglass planter with a height of 200mm is placed on a solid base made from 12 mm solid round steel, powder coated in DB703.
The 3mm thick Fibreglass planter is available in the standard RAL 7021. Also available in RAL colours: 7006 | 7016 | 7035 | 9005 | 9010 | 9016 (surcharge 10%).
It has a 5 year warranty" is produced by ADEZZ. These would be ideal during July 2020; for this sort of use.

Boundary wall, fence or Hedge

The wind can cause problems against solid objects like garden walls or fencing. Alternatives are:

  • Chainlink fencing using Jacksons Tubular Fence System Three
    with climbers
    (Use Rambler-scrambler climbers not Self-clinger climbers for the Prime Site of 3-10 feet (90-300 cms) from the 71 Clematis Climbers or 58 other Climbers to stop the foliage from climbing your house walls to your gutters and roof under their own steam!). The Flower colour or foliage colour of these climbers can assist your choice.
  • Hit and Miss Fencing
    in Horizontal or Vertical Fencing Panels allows some wind to pass through - less wind resistance
    (see Panel Fence from Installation Instructions for the Jacksons Fine Fencing Range page to assist in building the fence)
     
  • The following hedges and Native Hedging would need to go into the adjacent raised beds and replace the items normally inserted into them, with the Chainlink fencing above acting as the boundary from 0 to 6 feet high (0-180 cms), to prevent ingress from animals and others under the raised beds.

    There are further examples of hedges and their uses in the Hedging Gallery.
    These hedges from
    Hedgenursery - who are the exclusive provider of Royal Horticultural Society Bare Root Hedging Plants with a range of over 1000 hedge plants sold direct to the trade and public - can provide details about the following:-
  • Native Hedging is one of the hedges from Hopes Grove Nurseries.

    Trough and Instant Hedging -
    Instant hedging is a convenient way to achieve a high degree of landscape impact within minutes. Hopes Grove Nurseries offer a variety of solutions to give varying degrees of impact to suit most budgets. All are pre-planted and are supplied in one metre lengths so no working out is required, simply pace out or measure the number of one metre lengths you require.
    • Trough hedges – are younger pre-planted hedges and represent a cost effective option, they may be cut or bent into almost any shape or design and planting time is reduced by at least half compared to individual plants. For a really dense hedge a double row can be planted. As trough hedges are container grown, they can be planted with complete confidence at any time of year. Trough hedges can easily be handled and planted by one person.
    • Hedgebags – are a larger and more mature pre-planted hedge product, perfect for a higher degree of privacy, the bag is simply cut down the seams and removed at planting time. A quick trim along the top after planting will complete the instant effect. Hedgebags will generally require two people to handle and plant them. Like trough hedges, Hedgebags can be planted all year round without a problem.
    • Hedging elements – are field grown instant hedging units that have been precisely trimmed for several years (including the roots!) to give an instant ‘Show Garden’ look and a high degree of privacy. The dense and compact root architecture ensures that transplant shock is eliminated and they are available from late September until May. Hedge elements are supplied in biodegradable cardboard troughs and are usually planted with the trough although this can of course be removed. Hedge elements typically weigh around 150kg per metre section and so assistance with handling and planting is essential!
    • Hopes Grove Nurseries recommend all Instant Hedging is watered with their Soaker Hose – which may be found in the accessories page. RootGrow is an invaluable aid to establishment and will ensure your new hedge gets off to a good start.
     

The Iriso Water Spike drip-fed irrigation system which accepts most plastic water bottles, has 11 adjustable flow rates and uses an internal float to regulate the amount of water dispersed for each flower, vegetable or grasses bed.

A digital water timer can be connected to a standard outside tap or to a rainwater butt and the other end to a hose connector. The hose can come round the top of the compost mix in each bed and water those beds during the night time.

The Cedagravel surface over the whole garden area will also create paths between the raised beds. It will also drain the rainfall over the whole garden and provide a firm footing for wheelchairs, women wearing high heels and idiots in bare feet.

If the garden topsoil is clay-based, then apply a 2 inch depth of sharp-washed sand on the ground before creating the Cedargravel surface on top. This sand - with the rainfall and worm action - will combine with the clay to form soil which will then have air spaces in it. Some of these air spaces may get filled with rain, but the air-flow through the soil and its worm-created tunnels will remove that water.

Some of the beds could have standard roses, standard soft fruit or espalier top fruit inserted into the ground below the Cedargravel instead of in raised bed structures. The section of the plant that the wheelchair user will be interested in - the roses,gooseberries or cherries - will then be available at their chest height.

See Case Study 3 Page for further details about Cedagravel.

The following material can be used to mulch the beds under the spent mushroom compost or large uncomposted bark chips mulch:-

  • The cuttings from the grasses,
  • prunings from the flowers, climbers, soft fruit and top fruit,
  • deadheadings,
  • dead vase flowers/ foliage,
  • vegetable peelings and
  • unused parts of vegetables/ flowers from the beds.

This will feed the compost mixture and reduce the water loss from the that due to sunlight or wind.

If the path width is the turning area width for the wheelchair, then you can sit to weed, plant and maintain those raised beds. The maximum length you can stretch is 22 inches (55 cms) without falling over, so either make the beds 44 inches (110 cms) square or 44 inches deep and as long as you like - providing access from a path on each of the longest sides is available.

Aquatic plants could go into 4 raised beds converted into a pond. The usual minimum area of a pond to be self-sustaining is 160 inches x 44 inches (400 x 110 cms). 2 bed sections and 2 path sections can be converted into a pond. Make the end of the pond have a gentle slope for 10 inches (25 cms), so that your birds, hedgehogs and other wildlife can have a drink and bath. Then at the same end, convert the next 8 inch (20 cms) width of the end flower section for the pond life to use as an area for bog plants, with a small central beach of sharp sand; which progresses into the gentle slope in that pond.

 

Building

The bottom row provides access to the house/ hospital/ school/ care home with window cleaning and building maintenance.

 

Top fruit

Ken Muir over 50 different varieties of fruit trees including apples, pears, plums and cherries together with other stoned fruits and more unusual fruits such as mulberries, medlars, figs and nuts. The following fruit trees will fit in the small garden:-

  • Minarettes are slender, columnar fruit trees which bear their fruits on short spurs along the length of a vertical stem rather than on long spreading branches. They are perfect for today's smaller gardens because they can be planted as close as 60-90cm (2-3ft) apart as well as being ideal for growing in tubs on patios or balconies.  When mature, Minarettes are 1.8-2.4m (6-8ft) tall and crop prolifically.  A large range of apples, pears, plums, gages, damsons and cherries are available as Minarettes.
  • Trained Fruit trees - The main advantage is that you can fit several trained trees in a limited amount of space. Ken Muir have a selection of trained fruit trees available for those gardeners who are looking to create a more instant effect, these trees are available in three main forms,
    • espalier,
    • fan and
    • stepovers
      They have a number of different apple and pear varieties available ready trained as espalier and stepover trees, along with various fan trained stoned fruits.

Stepovers are easily accessible for wheelchair users.

 

Vegetables

Besides vegetable seeds to grow the relevant vegetable during every month of the year, Marshalls also sell vegetable plants, which are expertly grown under ideal nursery conditions, in individual cells that ensure well developed, healthy root systems. Marshall also provide Growing Guides.

There are further details in the Vegetable Gallery.

If you want a longer row of runner beans or other climbers than the depth of 1 vegetable bed, then erect the bamboo supports on each vegetable bed either side of a row and then link those 2 structures across the path.

Besides Spent Mushroom Compost, Bilting Farm also produce and sell composted horse manure, which is heat treated to kill weed seeds.

Making a potting mix for your raised beds:-

In typical container growing mixes, structure is created by combining 2 basic components: something that will absorb water and something that water will flow round. One planting mixture combination is:-

which is the best choice for self-watering containers. 2/3rds fill a wheelbarrow with the above planting mixture and according to Edward C. Smith (for Americans) add:-

  • 1/3 cup blood meal (for nitrogen)
  • 1/3 cup colloidal phosphate (for phosphorus)
  • 1/3 cup greensand ( for potassium and trace elements) and
  • 1 tablespoon azomite.

or according to me (for UK Citizens) add:

  • 500 grms Cal-Sea-Feed (for trace elements and minerals, calcium which neutralizes the acidity of the peat, and Cal-Sea-Feed also encourages beneficial soil bacteria)
  • 500 grms Blood, Fish, Bone (for Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus)

before mixing thoroughly. Add water whilst mixing to make a moist mixture but not a soggy mess. Transfer the result to a self-watering container (whose reservoir is already filled with water).

Detail of above materials:

  • Spagnum peat. Partially decomposed remains of centuries-old sphagnum moss, which holds both water and air. It is organic matter, but it decays very slowly and adds litlle in the way of nutrition. It is very acidic, with a pH of 3.5-4.5.
  • Sedge peat. The ancient, partially decomposed remains of sedge, reeds and grasses. It is of a darker colour than sphagnum peat and holds more water.
  • Coco peat, or coir. Recycled coconut husks, used for aeration and water retention as an ecologically sound alternative to sphagnum peat. It holds more water than sphagnum peat and has a pH range of 5.7 to 6.8.
  • Bark and/or sawdust. Used as a basic ingredient in some potting mixes. It provides organic matter, but few nutrients.
  • Vermiculite. Made from a form of mica rock. The ore has been heated causing it to expand and creating within it spaces for air and water. A cubic foot of vermicultite can hold 32 pounds of water - about 8 gallons. In addition to its air- and water-holding ability, it provides some potassium, calcium and magnesium with a neutral pH.
  • Perlite. Made from volcanic rock that is crushed, and then heated, causing the particles to expand like popcorn. Perlite holds water on its surface and keeps soil light and fluffy. It adds no nutrients to the mix and has a neutral pH.
  • Limestone (either dolomitic or calcitic). A source of calcium to counteract the acidity of peat moss. Dolomitic limestone also contains magnesium.

Details of organic fertilizer:

  • Azomite Trace Mineral Fertilizer is natural mined rock from a specific volcanic deposit in central Utah marketed as a free-flowing, less than 200 mesh, tan to pink powder with a density of 48 lbs./cubic foot. No additives, synthetics or fillers. Mineralogically, Azomite is rhyolitic tuff breccia. Azomite has 67 major and trace elements, so its name means "A to Z Of Minerals Including Trace Elements." Typical analysis shows every element that's beneficial to plants and animals, and other elements (micro-nutrients) scientists believe essential. Azomite was mined since 1942 as soil amendment. Crop farmers report improved growth, health, size. Potatoes report 19-60% increase in yield; sugar beets are larger, with higher sugar content. Citrus growers report improved recovery from decline, healthier trees. This material is easier to buy in America. I would tend to use the Cal-Sea-Feed in the UK, since it is easier to find and it will provide the Calcium instead of from the Limestone in the list above to neutralize the acidity of the peat.
  • Greensand is essentially a hydrated silicate of iron and potash. It is a natural mineral extracted from the famous greensand deposits of Sewell, New Jersey, USA. This natural mineral has a tendency to open tight soils and bind loose soils. Nutrient availability through its' "base-exchange" action releases the minerals in the soil for assimilation by the plant. Valued by growers for decades this rock powder contains a large amount of potassium and trace minerals. Greensand renews vigour of the mineral exchange in the top soil.
  • Cal-Sea-Feed - Calcified Seaweed substitute - A sustainable alternative to Calcified Seaweed for growers. Calcified Seaweed is no longer approved by the Soil Association for use in organic growing, due to concerns that the harvesting of this material is not sustainable and has adverse effects on the marine environment. Cal-Sea-Feed is a blend of dried seaweed, harvested in a sustainable and environmentally benign system, and natural calcium compounds - formulated to give growers the benefits of Calcified Seaweed without the concerns. Cal-Sea-Feed is rich in minerals, encourages beneficial soil bacteria, helps improve heavy soil structure and neutralises acid soils (do not use with acid loving plants). Approved for Organic growing by the Soil Association.
  • Blood, Fish, Bonemeal. A traditional long lasting organic based compound fertilizer - the favourite feed for generations of gardeners. Use anywhere in the garden for flowers, fruit, vegetables. Nitrogen 5% Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) 5% of which Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) soluble in water 0.44%(P0.19%) Phosphorus Pentoxide (P2 05) insoluble in water 4.56%(P1.9%) Potassium Oxide (K2 0) soluble in water 6.5%(K5.4%). Bone meal is an organic fertlizer that is derived from the meat processing industry. Animal bones are cooked and then ground and packaged, then sold as a slow-release fertilizer that offers a good amount of phosphorous. The N-P-K ratio of bone meal is generally 4-12-0, though some steamed bone meals have N-P-Ks of 1-13-0. Bone meal is frequently used to fertilize spring-blooming bulbs, but it also works well in vegetable gardens, on lawns, and in containers to provide phosphorus. Recent CSU research results concluded that no rock P (regardless of mesh size) is available for plant use unless the soil pH is below 7.0.

Solution to Unemployment in Britain:-

"The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand, have taught 3 rescue dogs to drive in an effort to encourage people to adopt and love shelter pets."

Besides the trained dogs who aid Blind People in walking, these other dogs could be trained to drive in Britain. Then, when a Blind person wishes to be driven, an unemployed person could earn their benefit by being in the front passenger seat giving directions to the dog who is doing the driving, but not to the dog who is sitting in the back seat alongside the Blind passenger.

The Blind person gets social interaction and the unemployed person - in aiding this blind person to go further than that person can walk for shopping or to visit friends - increases their self-esteem and self-worth.

The cars are maintained and operated with the dog driver during 8 hours each week by these unemployed. The running costs, cars and car parts are paid for by the local Government Employment Department.
