Raised Beds


We've completed the expansion of the vegetable garden from last year's two 4'x8' raised beds, to eight.  Built the raised beds from prefabbed corners and un-treated 2"x6" boards.   We filled with a couple of truckloads of  topsoil from the local garden center, along with some compost.   In between the beds, we laid down anti-growth fabric and stone, to avoid having to cut and trim grass between the beds.  You'll also see in the picture that we've constructed a frame of PVC pipe on the one bed, so we can drape bird netting over our tomato plants, and still maintain easy access.
