DIY enclosed raised bed garden. Step by step. Very nice!
In the photos below, I’ve added the 10 cubic yards of garden soil to the beds. The mistake I made was not ensuring that the Bobcat delivered came with a 60″ bucket. I ended up with a 74″ bucket, and only the bed in the rear could be filled directly from the Bobcat. Thankfully, it was the single most enormous bed!
I spent today trying to beat the rain tomorrow by getting all the soil in the beds. The gravel border needs some touching up, but I’m happy to work with it when it’s wet!
I’ve also installed (just because I was excited about it!) one of my new “Texas Tomato cages.” Lastly, in the rear bed, you may notice onion sets I planted for Spanish yellow and Walla Walla sweets.
One of the photos below is a profile shot of the man behind the plan, that’s right, Quietman! (One of Mrs. Quietman’s better pics of me!)
