Hi All! Greetings from southern New Hampshire!
Barb ordered a pair of the large, 15” tall Birdee Beds from Epic. These were to replace two of our first wooden one that I made from pallet wood. Despite an oil finish and lining of plastic, they had deteriorated.
So far, I have replaced one and have the second bed emptied and am laying down hardware coth and landscape fabric. It is labor-intensive as while emptying the bed, I am separating out the weed roots, mostly quackgrass. Worth the effort.
The one that is filled is really impressive. We plan to replace the wooden raised beds as Epic offers discounts. At 78, the bull work is good for me, but I don’t have the stamina I used to have.
The new raised bed where the bee hives used to rest is planted with cucumbers, bush and climing and one red cabbage.
Speaking of bees, the swarm trap on our back deck was occupied a couple of days ago. Hopefully they will take up residence.
Hi there Duke! Good to see your post and what you’re up to!
