Garden Plans > 2018: Vegetable Garden

About this Garden Plan
Raised Beds are made with raw/untreated 12" Pine board with 4"x4" posts for stability. They are built on previously grass-covered lawn that I dug out. I lined the bottom of the bed with weed fabric and hardware cloth to prevent mice and moles from digging through. Each bed's soil is composed of: 20 cu ft Shredded Top Soil, 20 cu ft Composted Manure, 6 cu ft peat moss, and 4 cu ft Vermiculate. Will enrich with our kitchen/chicken compost in the Fall before planting crop cover. The paths were lined with plastic weed cover and economy mulch after digging the grass out. Top of this plan is facing south. Our home is at the top of this plan (South) and the road to the left (East). There's a large walnut tree about 30 ft to the right (West) that will provide shade for the chickens in the later afternoon-evening. I planned to have the more shade-tolerant plants on the right (West) side of this layout for that reason, as well.
