Raised Vegetable Beds 042713


Perinneal Leek and Garlic bed getting more topsoil, next up is a layer of compost and worm castings.


Topsoil layer is finished.  The top round of wood is the cover for the bed, this week John will reinstall the pvc pipe hoops and I'll help with the bird netting. 


John loading the middle raised bed, otherwise known as my salad bed, with topsoil.


Just a couple wheelbarrows more and this bed will be ready for compost as well.


We saved money by purchasing the amended topsoil locally and by picking it up from KCI Landscaping, we save even more by not having it delivered.  So far we've purchased two yards of the amended topsoil. 


My herb and kale garden, still needs topsoil and then a final layer of compost.  I'll probably tuck some beets, parsnips, and carrots in between the rows of kale in this garden.  I'm dreaming of a fresh sun kissed salad!
