    Ok
    Hope so, but I’d been on a Maritime Walk and the guide told me the gates wouldn’t open so she’d be lifted in

    Now it's all high and dry why don't they paint the final under water coat now.

    Maybe they are floating her in and waiting to give her a nice shiney finish once she's permanently berthed.

    Well I think it’s because she’ll be lifted in so best to save last coat until once moved

    Wether they float or lift it into place, is its place in water or a dry dock?

    The guide needs to take more water with it, she's sailing in bow first. The tidal barrier will be down to keep her high in the water while they manoeuvre her into position to enter the dock. Once she's in a coffer dam will to be built to keep her dry. :emoticon-0143-smirk

    There have been a number of sites running for several years in Hull, tended by volunteers with the produce available to anyone that picks it. I'm not sure if it's still there, but there was one opposite Empress.

    I do hope they make sure these are on raised beds, as the crap in the ground will be sucked up by plants, which would make them risky to eat.

    Rooted in Hull, who are quoted in the article, are brilliant.
    I have a tenuous link with part of their funding.

    Raised beds are good for a variety of reasons as you say, but not least accessibility for those with mobility issues.
