Say  hello to my little friends, garden raiders!

I didn't plant a garden this year....

Its not too late

I have a mass in my lung growing but it's shrinking now.

 

[Guest D]

I don't have the time to put towards it. I'm the only one that does it and I'm the only one to process all of it. Not gonna care this year. Plus the groundhog problem is just tiring all itself. Just don't wanna deal with it this year.

I had to re-pot these two after the recent storm turned them upside down. They're too top heavy. They were originally planted by my mother and my 2 children.

When you don't feel like going to mass, make the mass come to you!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Oh, it came to me alright and charged my insurance mass amounts of money.
Cool part is, I'm out of network and I pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and zero copay.

Anyone doing Raised Bed Gardens? If so, what do you grow (or NOT grow) well in Raised Beds?

What do you find are optimal dimensions and why?

Looking at doing some community gardens at a local church with the Scouts.

(These are all asking -- not saying)

Edges should be kept 30 inches (about 75 cm) or less for wheelchair / limited access?

Minimum edge (to be "raised") is what -- 8 inch (about 20 cm) concrete block?

Max width should be 4 feet (little over 1 meter) or less for "reach across" of 2 feet (or less?)

Max length maybe 20 feet (6 meters) for small sites? Maybe 50 feet max for large sites?

Looking for what are considered "Best Practices." Thanks!

4' bed width makes sizing, fitting wood, say 4'x8' plywood or cut a 12' 2x4 into 3, 4' lengths. Landscape cloth and other wire mesh is also avail in 4' wide rolls. 4' is the magic # for us.

Easy to reach across. Wider than 4' is going to be tough for little ppl to reach thru to middle of plants and prob not very wheelchair friendly.

I am unsure whats a good width for wheelchair access. Make your spacing between boxes wider than that. Taking the corners requires more room that the width of the chair.
Keeping the boxes a little taller than 8" might deter a pest or 3.
You'll prob want deeper than 8" of soil to plant in anyways.
Raising the beds higher means less bending over for older folks and phycally challenged.

Organic... Think organic and chem free as you're building.

Do you have a budget? Volunteers?
Do any of them have experience?

The number of ppl involved will dictate how large the garden should be. You should start small if its just yourself. Learn, then get bigger.
If more ppl are involved, go bigger. You don't want 4 ppl fighting over 1 tomato. Lol!
