I have a raised bed made from railway sleepers, 16' x 8'. After three years the soil has become quite heavy and I have noticed the increasing amount of bright silvery particles when digging it over.  The local builder who built the bed for me, kindly lined it with heavy duty plastic, but I am wondering if this has anything to do with my problem..........OAP 

Was it heavy duty plastic or old compost bags?

Have you added anything to the soil since the bed was made?

I was sneaky-this course is near to the driving range and the balls had gone over the fence-I nicked them-but unknowingly-will probably "find" some more next week-lost 2 last week so about even

Crushed egg shell is a recycling thing it goes in the chicken grit feed-what comes out goes back in-very green

This morning I have played golf-we tried a different course as the usual one is out of action for 6 months-found 2 balls and one tee

This afternoon I have crushed some egg-shells-now looking for some paint to watch dry to heighten the excitement.

One day-Kate- the builders will finish

I wonder if Sammy and mates have got the nod yet
