    Till the shit out of that soil. Go deep and kill some roots.

    Only takes a tiny piece of root and there's another plant. Tilling you'll inadvertently multiply comfrey

    Worked on my pumpkin bed as well, using a 440/80 r28 tractor tire.
    Bottom sidewall is filled with two buckets of biochar filled to the brim so that a bit over 30 liters, another full bucket in the center hole to ensure proper drainage. This biochar isn't exactly biochar though because it's all untreated fresh from the stove. It's main function in this part is water holding capacity.
    On top of the char is a full wheelbarrow load of semi composted chicken bedding. Then on top of that the soil that was in the tire to begin with before I moved it to where it is sitting now.
    This soil started out as clay dirt and was amended with nutrient loaded biochar and compost.

    More compost and top dressings will be added and I'll do a covercrop of either wheat or oats in here as well to get some roots through this asap to make things easier for the pumpkin when it goes in.

    Really like this idea Cleargreen mate.

    Hoping the comfrey defies the cold and sprouts so I got some roots in there.

    It´s the only way to keep things properly watered here, I tried other raised beds but water would just run over the top to the sides and leak out somewhere. With these I can give it a good soak every 3-5 days or so even during the height of summer.
    Might even put some ollas in here as well.
