Watercress is another no-no... unless you want all your growbeds full of the stuff

Don't plant beans and peas near a splashy water inlet.

Don't have "splashy" water inlets...

Put a tile or something similar over splashy inlets

im having trouble with english spinach at the moment. It gets to about a hand span in size and then rots.

you might want to try dropping the flood level in the bed

good idea mantis. my beds flood almost to the surface so that is probably the problem

Aren't you supposed to flood to the surface to get rid of bugs. What is a good height from surface to flood?

Was getting ready to plant watercress too... Phew!

I planted it when I first set up my bed.
2 years later it still appears in random places...

Growth in my bed is much better after I raised bed about 50mm above high tide mark (only one months experience so far, so don't put down as gospel).

I found my first lettuce sprout in the GB this morning. That is after 3 goes in the last 2 months. Seedlings in raising mix are ready to be planted out this weekend.
