New planting bed in greenhouse

in #homesteading7 years ago

My wife (@homesteadhippy) and I decided to cut back on the gardening we do outside since our family has shrunk to my wife and I and our youngest son now.

Each year we find that kneeling down in the dirt to work with the plants gets less appealing so I decided to take three 8x2 beds and stack them on top of each other so we can stand next to the bed when we work in it.

I lined the bottom and sides of the bed with feed bags to better contain the dirt in the bed

The finished bed - I layered the dirt removed from the old beds with last fall's leaves that the chickens had scratched through

I plan on adding a cover layer of straw to keep the ground from drying out as quickly.

I will let you know what my wife decides to plant here.
