the begining raised bed project

14 years ago

Just thought I would post some before pics. I started last year with an 8x8 bed. This year we doubled it to 8x16. I then built the herb bed from left over cedar. It turned out to be 3x6.

And one more for the peppers.

An 8x16 raised bed? I cant tell from the pics - do you climb up inside it?

The construction is beautiful, just wondering why you made such a huge bed.

lol...why not? it it 14" or so deep.the soil here is pure clay with a limestone shelf so digging is near impossible. So i figured i would just truck in good soil and plant on top of the clay. There is a company that sells garden soil they custom blend for $35 a yard (i used 3.5 yards) the sides are tall to keep the dogs out and allows me to cover it in the spring/winter to create a mini green house. i would have gone even bigger but the wife said NO!! and you know the old saying----"everything is bigger in Texas!!"
