Small Space Gardening: Raised Beds

We started our spring off with a bang here in Iowa this year! With a little inspiration, a set mind, and a goal to grow better, nutritious foods this year. After getting our greenhouse up and going it was now start to jump in on the fun part, building our raised beds. I must admit that I have never made a raised bed before but it is actually really simple. With the right resources just about anyone can build a raised bed. I have to give credit to give credit for this project to Sunset and their Edible Small Space Gardening piece on building raised beds. They gave a complete list of supplies and step-by-step instructions on how to complete the job. After going for supplies, around $75 and a few hours later we have our first raised bed built and installed. Thanks to all the people that have amazing resources to make it possible for newbies such as myself to build and start growing more food in such small spacing.

If you are interested in building a bed like our please visit Sunset online or pick up a copy of their magazine Edible Space Gardening at your local store.
