Garden Plans > 2014: Rayz Raised Garden

About this Garden Plan

28' L X 7' W X 18" H raised bed garden with two rows. One on each side of garden with soaker system going through the center. Designed this way so I can walk down the center of the garden for pruning weeding, and harvesting. Weedless material used to keep down the production of weeds. High end sandy soil used for the bed. Mulch was tilled into all of the soil bed. Peat Moss added into top 1/2 of bed.
