[BlindHandyMan] raised garden bed
My little trophy wife originally considered the backyard pond but has now decided on a raised garden bed instead. The intended area is 12' X 12' and is surrounded on three sides by a brick walkway and the edge of a cement patio on the fourth. Any ideas? Design? Materials?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] raised garden bed
I made a raised garden bed about 22 inches high and about 8 by 16 out of landscape tembers. Were I doing it again I'd never make it so wide. I did like the height though. One problem I ran into was that this 200 cubic foot raised bed was situated in a part of our yard inaccessable by motor vehicles. By the time I had managed to dump enough wheelbarrel loads of dirt to fill it about half way I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever be done!

No, I am not on the blind gardeners list and, yes, I would appreciate if my query was presented there.

[BlindHandyMan] raised garden bed
Monday, 05, February sent at: 8:45 PM Jim, I live here in the city of Portland, ME. Where gardening is far from anything to think about when the temperature (chill factor) is minus 5 As, the wind is clicking at 25 mph and gusting at 34 mph. Anyway, in purchasing this home the yard was a gravel parking lot and lots of gravel around the home. Over the years I've built four raised beds and have three in-ground. The in-ground is lined with landscaping timber with the round side facing up. Easy markers to find the beds. The raised beds are anything from 10 feet in length to 24 feet in length. I have a smaller one that is a V shape and capping front from either tip of the v. All the heights are three feet above the 14 inches of top soil I had brought in for covering the gravel. Anyway, in building one it is pretty easy for a blind person. I know several that have used cobble stone or rocks to build their raised beds. Just depending how much time you want to put in and the look you want on your property. S, for the filler I used here top-soil, coffee grounds, sea-weeds, much and sand. To stay away from bagged chemicals I buy 40 pound bags of cow or and horse manure. Each year working it into the soil. I love my raised beds and saves a lot on the back. All depends on what you are looking for looks and the areas that you have to work with. Weather up against the foundation of the house or out in the open. One thing you might want to know raised beds require more watering as they can dry out faster.
