Raised Bed Garden
Raised Bed Garden Construction – Phase One. My first attempt at building a Raised Bed Garden. We have a nice variety of vegetables planted in the bed. I chose to plant the vegetables utilizing a kind of “Permaculture” method. This means instead of grouping like kind vegetables together in the garden, we mixed the vegetables throught the bed. This allows the vegetable to utilize the garden in a more natural manner. This helps to prevent nutrient depletion in the soil and also aides in fighting off unwanted garden pest while attracting beneficial insects.

The siding is a quality exterior grade, lap siding. So far it shows no signs of any deterioration. The same type of siding has been on our well house for years with no issues. Hopefully we get many more years of service from the siding.

The county site where we acquired the ‘compost’ is supposed to provide ‘clean’ compost created only from yard waste and not from general landfill mass. It is even recommended by the local county gardening class instructor. So hopefully what they provide is good quality compost….Cheers!

The siding will deteriorate rapidly. And yeah one of a lot of dirt. Me and my Mom did a few raised beds this year and were compelled to buy a freezer to store it all. I must add that there is more to gardening than food. Nurturing life feeds the soul.
