I'm trying to talk my DH in building me a 4x4 raised bed in the backyard. We've got one spot that still gets sun all day, but is close to the fence line and the neighbor on the otherside "chemicals" the dickens out of his yard. It literally looks like a golf course. So a raised bed would be the only way to go. I used to do some containers on the deck but the other neighbors trees are blocking most of the direct sun now. Ever grow cucumbers vertically on some kind of trellis?
hmm.... all I see is green grass, and something green in the garden! NOT FAIR!!! LOL.... I've debated doing a raised bed or two for salad greens, maybe a tomato plant or two, but then I'd have to stay home during the summer. :)
I've often thought of doing raised beds. Have you used them long and do you like them better than just planting in the ground? What about weeds? Get as many this way?
Working on admending my veggie garden soil, added compost to the center raised bed and tilled it in today. Need to finish raking the leaves as the trees have finally lost most of them they will just in time to start budding in a few weeks. Still have a lot of amending to do.
