    We have a south facing garden with raised beds. We grow onions, beetroot and leeks in them. Down one end we also grow lettuce and radishes.

    Thanks for that can anyone also advise me in my raised bed first pic the whole of the wall was covered in ivy and I have taken it off as you can see then I have dug the bed up there was millions of roots but the soil/compost seemed ok have passed it through a soil sieve to remove dead roots could I mix the left over soil from the bed with compost and reuse ?

    Yes, you'll need to add some fertilizer too, blood, fish and bone would help.
