Greybeard 8,708 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Mine is still too wet and frozen. Been dumping ashes in it over the winter and have a compost pile to till into it when the time comes. Going to pick up more blueberry bushes, walmart this time when they come in. Bought them at Home depot and lowes 2 years ago, then seen plants at walmart that were 3 times the size. 2 years of growth, and the ones I have still aren't as big as walmarts were. Looked at the plants again in lowes and hd this year, and they are half the size of the plants they sold 2 years ago. rgw, MGHunter66, Live to Hunt and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Jcol6268 223 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I want to put in a raised bed garden this year. Have never gardened before. Are there any tips you can give a newbie? I’ve been reading some articles recently to get an idea of what to do. Plan on starting the project soon. Live to Hunt 1 Link to post Share on other sites
rgw 4,099 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I never did a raised garden. Only advice I could give is pick a spot with plenty of sun and protected from deer and rabbits Live to Hunt and Jcol6268 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Greybeard 8,708 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Look up pallet planting also. Lot of articles on raised gardens, hanging tomato plants upside down in buckets too, if you don't have space for a garden. Rusty and Live to Hunt 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought about trying some upside down bucket tomato plants this year. I herd it works really well and would probably help from rodents eating a bunch Live to Hunt and Greybeard 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bearhunter 504 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I got mine tilled Yesterday. Tilled in about 3 yards of composted horse manure. Going to start on a new deer fence today then start planting. BCsaw and Live to Hunt 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Greybeard 8,708 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Got the flower beds cleaned up today. Scraped enough compost off the frozen pile to top off the raised beds. Wood sides of the raised beds get heaved up from the frost. I stomp them back down each year the best I can. They were 4" deep, now they are just about sitting on top of the ground. Plants are already coming up. Live to Hunt and rgw 2 Link to post Share on other sites
