Bed Small
What is the best way to make a SMALL raised bed garden?
I want to have a small "postage stamp" garden next spring and summer and have horrible soil in my yard. What is the best way to build a small raised bed?
Make a nice 'postage sized' frame out of 2x6, 2x8, 0r 2x10 lumber, or whatever boards you have. Put 4 posts in the corners, you can bang them into the dirt with a hammer, then nail the lumber on them, more or less LEVEL from one to the next, and as many 'rows' as you want the bed HIGH, ---and fill the bed up to the TOP with good soil.
If you can't FIND good soil, make it by digging up some of your horrible soil, a handful of bags of peat moss, some sand, and even a bit of sawdust, and mix it all together. In the FALL, sprinkle some 17-17-17 (weak) fertilizer on it, or some manure. Dig it in and mix it up. If you have LOTS of leaves falling from trees in the fall in your area, use those also, add LOTS of leaves to the mix . The MORE the better. If you can find some fishworms, throw them in the soil.
In the spring, plant your tiny garden and enjoy your tomatoes. Grow a pumpkin for your kids too.
