Here's a potato bed I made last weekend. Just shoveled the local sandy soil over, with some compost mixed in.
It's half shade. Potatoes seem to like that.
BTW I can't keep thjs bed for next year. The trees will be sending their roots in to steal all the water and nutrients.

The Kumutoto valley and stream in Wellington is mostly gone. There's one strip of lush creek side rainforest left next to the entry to the terrace tunnel. This is home to rare spiders and lizards.
This is the land they want to fill in and pave over to add more road tunnel.
