My issue is - isn't it a bit late to be mulching ahead of this season? We'll get faster results this season by digging / clearing, which we've nearly finished, no?
It is a bit late, but I did this last june/july with a small raised bed. Covered the ground with cardboard and a mix of homemade compost and second hand stuff I got from work. It did carrots, beans, beetroot, radishes and some lettuces pretty well. So it all depends what resources you have at your disposal.

My mum has been urging me to watch this and mrs cyoa is smitten with the idea. My issue is - isn't it a bit late to be mulching ahead of this season? We'll get faster results this season by digging / clearing, which we've nearly finished, no? We've started planting some bits in what we've done / the greenhouse to get things to sprout.
TBH my main focus is now the structure of the terraces. The wood is all rotten, several are collapsing and spilling into the next. I wonder what's the most resilient, long term solution for keeping terraces solid with minimal intervention in future. I could get new wood but seems like a lot of effort and would shirley only get rotten again in a couple of years. Don't like the idea of using plastics. Like the idea of bricks but feel that it's probably more complicated to lay brick and dig in proper foundations on a clay hill than I'm giving credit for.
