Garden Plans > 2014: Raised Bed Square Foot Garden

About this Garden Plan

Trying my hand at square foot gardening on the outskirts of Bend, out toward Alfalfa. It's dry and dusty here, so I'm working with raised beds with a mixture of compost and the natural sandy soil. The beds are 3'x6'x18" with hardware cloth and weed barrier underneath. A custom DIY drip irrigation system runs the show.
