Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around building raised garden beds primarily for vegetable gardening, considering factors like dimensions, materials, and stability. The proposed size is 4'x18", with a focus on waist-height for accessibility. Key concerns include whether to enclose the beds, drainage solutions, and the potential for critters to inhabit the space underneath. Participants suggest using untreated wood like cedar or redwood to avoid toxins and recommend landscaping fabric for lining. The conversation also touches on effective watering systems and pest management strategies to enhance gardening success.

We got a bunch of cherry tomatoes, a couple of squashes and eggplants, but the tomatoes - despite the plants growing wildly out of the beds - have delivered little more than cherry tomato-sized tomatoes so far.
Not sure if it's because of the hot season, or poor soil or my expectations are high.
