Raised beds - really raised
I've asked a similar question back a ways but I thought I'd ask again
with a twist. The coming year we're looking at starting vegetable gardening, however the soil is all dense-pack clay. We're looking at raised beds - by which I mean building boxes and raising them about three feet off the ground because neither of us can bend over for regular weeding easily. My back-of-the-envelope calculations show a 1m x 2.5m x .5m box, when full of wet soil, weighs in at just over 1400kg! Has anyone here raised growing beds this high? What sizes of beds would you recommend? Thanks! -- The word "urgent" is the moral of the story "The boy who cried wolf". As a general rule I don't believe it until a manager comes to me almost in tears. I like to catch them in a cup and drink them later. -- Matt Holiab, in the Monastery |
