RE: Setting up a Raised Bed Garden and Controlling Weeds
I am planning to create some raised beds in the very near future and found your post very informative. How many raised beds do you need to be self sufficient, and what dimensions?
I guess that depends on how many mouths to feed lol. I don't can/freeze much because it always seems to take away a lot of the taste but I do freeze bags of plum tomatoes for making sauce throughout the year and also peppers to be used for cooking. I have 25-30 beds and we (3) eat as much as possible during the season and I give a lot away to neighbors/friends. I'm thinking about maybe selling some at the local flea market this summer to pay for my fertilizer, etc. I would not make a box larger than 4x8 feet or it will probably start bowing on you.
