Nice! We have to be content with some whiskey barrels in the back yard. I did just build a 3×6 raised bed though.

If I had your room I would start considering a chicken run as well.

I’m sure if we had a vegetable garden it would die a quick death.. We don’t exactly have a green thumb. Good luck with yours though!

Hey- the garden looks great! I have tried some compost methods in the past,but since we are city dwellers I have always been hyper-conscience of critters since I found a mole in a previous compost bin! Now all I do is gather my kitchen waste for a day or two and add water and blend it in the Vita-Mix. I pour the compost “slushies” right on the garden. This is working great for us! My best tip is to make sure to add plenty of water to your mix so the slush won’t be so thick it will smother small plants. Good luch!

We just put in our first organic vegetable garden this year. It is a 4′ x 8′ raised bed and it is great. We wanted to save money while at the same time teach our young boys the importance of the environment and nature.

We’re seeing some good progress on our garden too! We’re mostly to the ‘waiting and weeding’ part. It’s the first year my wife and I have done one together, but we’d both done them with our families growing up. It’s going to be good!

Our vegetable isn’t as large as yours :) But we’ve got it along our fence. It makes mowing the lawn easier, and it leaves a larger play area in the center of the yard. We go about 4 feet out from the fence, all along the back. It makes it easier to water, and to weed as well. So I guess our garden is 80 x 4. Not to shabby — although some of it is taken up by raspberries…
