It is sunny and hot here in southern New Hampshire. I have finished the first, expanded raised bed planter, made of salvaged slats from pallets. It is 117 1/2” by 53” and 16” high. It replaces two landscape timber 4’ by 4’ raised beds with two rows of timbers. I pulled the old boundaries out and they were pretty well rotted. I extended the two watering valves to the new height and filled it with about 9 loader buckets of compost from the local transfer station.
Now, I am disassembly pallets to make four more raised beds. I hope these go faster with the experience from the first one. The design came from a Youtube offering by a gardener from New Jersey.
Household Six has the first raised bed planted. When I am finished we will have ten raised beds in the 8-10’ by 4’ class, and a couple in the 10’ by 2’ class. And I can start building our new garden shed.
Excellent progress! Sounds great and will be very productive! :)
