My son has built a fruit frame onto my raised bed that my blueberries grow in.
I’m very happy I can now get more ericaceous compost and replant 3 and 3 bushes and 1 cranberry bush in each section.

Ooh, that’s a perfect little quail enclosure
(Once you add their little house
) . They would like running around under the fruit bushes. Egg collection would be a bugger thought. They barely brake stride when laying
.
Oh to have a son that builds things. That is definitely a fine construction.

It’s great when you can get him, but because he works for himself he can be difficult to get. I have been trying to get him for a days work for over a month. I got him to replace the tap in the bathroom of my camper van, fit a blackout roller blind in our bedroom that every time I fit it it falls back down, fit a water butt on my patio that takes rain water from ther roofed pergola and make the fruit frame.

You can see no hoses for the water butt in the patio area it comes through the fence from the down pipe on the other side.
All very tidy Can. Not a hose to be seen.
I spent 2 hours tonight putting 9x60L bags of ericaceous compost into the new blueberries extended raised bed. 7 went into the new bed and 2 into the existing bed. I gave a good feed of granular seaweed , transplanted 3 blueberry bushes into the new bed giving their roots a good feed of seaweed root booster, then put a cranberry bush in each bed again with a root soak in the seaweed root booster. Now all I need to do is empty about 300 used coffee pods and spread the coffee onto the beds as well.
