Hey all,
I've decided that I want to do a raised bed or two. The main reason
is to have a place to grow salad greens, carrots, etc.
I was thinking to make the bed now and try to get it full of soil by fall. I have to clean 2 years of deep bedding from my goat shed, it's
mostly peed on hay and poop. Lots and lots of wasted hay, so it
should not be too strong. I can mix in some soil once the bedding
composts.
For the sides, I'm looking around to see what I can use that's free.
I have tons of pine trees. I could cut down a 12" or so thick pine
and cut logs to make the sides. I think that it would at last 5 or 6
years being that thick. In that time, the soil should hold up if I
needed to remove a log and replace it.
I'm also going to hit up the sawmill and see if they have some cull cedar or other lumber that might work.
