Preparing a Garden Bed http://Gardenbed1.notlong.com 3 April 2007. One garden bed was prepared for planting. The bed was cultivated, wood chips and compost mixed was added about half a cubic yard, and worked into the underlying soil. The surface was raked level and a small ditch was dug around the bed. This is the first completed bed. It is still cool 8 C.in my area Zone 5. This operation exhibits the usefulness of a small cultivator, a Honda FG110 four stroke engine in my case. The bed is 8 feet by 20 feet and is raised about one foot. This bed will be used for cauliflower, Okra, broccoli, romain lettuce, leaf lettuce, radishes, celery, and peppers. The bed is in full sun all day. Durgan. __________________ http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html
