Garden Plans > 2014: Will's Garden

About this Garden Plan

Am slowly improving garden. This year our neighbor installed a privacy fence which will shade the top beds (1, 6, 10, 17, 18). Beds are raised with 8" trex type decking - garden was created by placing topsoil from rows into the raised beds back in 2011. Am slowly digging out rocks and clay below this level in the beds so that deeper rooted crops can thrive and so that I don't make soil full of rocks everytime I dig up a bed.
