Eslee's Raised Bed garden

Created on Saturday, 19 Jul 08

Our main garden in the backyard is a 420 square foot raised bed built using concrete slabs. You’d have to see it to believe it! It was a ton of work (for the hubby!) and quite an expense to get it going, but the soil and drainage here were not remotely appropriate. Since we’re busy new homeowners and this is our first year gardening in ages, we tried to start small.
