Raised Bed

Thanks for the info Rock, the lack of desert air here in central Indy will be a good reason NOT to grow 'em too close tgether - i see the difference now. Yeah, seems like the resorts and towns around the Salton Sea were all deserted and no more room for graffiti except on top of existing graffiti - only inhabitants like in Bombay City i think worked for the County DPW to keep the water and sewers running but for why?...................

Sadly, the water has become so saline (correction-Not saline) out there that the fish can't stay alive and the commerce died. The link I gave above has many different links to check out. It will lay out all that is wrong out there.

It used to be a really rockin place out there with celebrities being the largest group of people staying there. Sonny Bono was working on trying to get the salton sea fixed. The runoff from farming has caused many problems with the sea, it really is a sad situation.

nice big bed, 5.5' can be a streeeetch for some to work the middle, but then I see your highly placed hose reel w/ large looped hose and maybe you are very tall. I have two six foot wide and it can be a challenge. a true inner measure four foot works best for me.

in addition, your storage barn drains on the siding of the house, possibly creating mildew issue, fwiw.

have a great year.

I honestly think my 5 foot wide beds area nightmare to work with, 3 foot wide would have been better.
The only reason I did it was for structural purposes for the arbor in the middle of the two beds.
If I had it to do over again I would have put them on concrete slabs to keep the tree roots and Bermuda grass out.

Could someone please put this thread where it belongs and not in the food preservation section?
I'm not complaining no need to explain why it is here, it just isn't in the right place.
