Planning the Garden – Raised Beds <\/strong><\/p>\n Why raised beds? Some consider them more fascinating. Some say they are easier to work with. One great reason to use raised beds is because they are more easy to create without digging. <\/p>\n Select a plot for your garden primarily based on preference, exposure to sunlight, and what you need to grow there. You can mark the sides of your planned garden bed with stakes and string if you wish, but it is not required. <\/p>\n Building the Raised Beds in the Garden<\/strong> <\/p>\n Begin making the raised bed for your garden by spreading a layer of black and white paper on the ground. This should be about 8 to 10 sheets thick and not include any glossy or colored pages. Put the paper directly over your present grass or weeds. <\/p>\n After placing this barrier layer that will help kill the grass, begin layering organic material in layers. Begin with a 2 to 3 in. layer of organic compost. This is purchased or from your own compost pile. Next, put a layer of grass clippings, fall leaves, straw, or other full organic material. This layer should be about 4 inches in thickness. Spray this thoroughly with water. <\/p>\n Continue to layer organic matter with compost or peat moss till your raised bed is about 3 feet high. Be certain to spray each layer with water as you go along. Once the garden bed is tall enough, stretch a sheet of plastic or an air-tight tarp over the top. Use stones to weight the tarp down, or stake it to the ground on all sides. <\/p>\n This raised bed should be left undisturbed for as long as practicable. This is a great project to start in the fall for a planned raised bed garden in the spring. BY that time, the organic material will have broken down into a lovely, rich dark soil that’s excellent for growing many types of plants. Just take away the tarp, mix the raised bed up with a garden fork, and plant.<\/p>\n For much more data pay a visit to <a href=”http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Growing-Strawberries—9-Tips-to-Grow-Strawberries-at-Home&id=5423649″>Growing Strawberries<\/a> where you’ll find video instructions for <a href=”http:\/\/ezinearticles.com\/?Garden-Design-Books—4-Key-Ideas-Youll-Learn-From-The-Design-Books-For-Gardens&id=5423623″>Garden design books<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most gardening books and professionals can tell you the easiest way to make a raised garden bed.
