    Wind has been crazy here too! Great work with the raised bed! If I had a dollar for all the times my camera fell over, I’d have a nice steak dinner that’s for sure! Haha

    Just FYI for those wanting a raised bed: a 4 x 8 bed with 6" sides will need 16 cubic feet of fill. If you go with 12" sides it will be 32 cubic feet of fill. When you buy the garden soil in bags at home and garden centers most bags are 1 cubic foot by volume.Get 3 or 6 extra bags to allow for compaction. Newspaper works as well as kraft paper: use 2 layers.
    Raised beds must be watered more often(pretty much daily) as they tend to drain to the ground below them and dry out quicker.
    They are excellent for perennials: strawberries, asparagus,etc.
    On my 4 x 8 x 6" sides beds I mix in 3 50# bags of composted cow manure every February. Over the years time that much volume is lost to rain splatter,wind erosion,etc.Plus the veggies love the composted manure.

    For city folk a raised bed is wonderful. I'm blessed and have some large areas to work with for a real garden at my factory but also have 3 raised beds in my backyard.
    On a 4 x 8 bed you can plant:
    6 collard green sets with radish's between as radish reaches picking time before collards shade them out.
    Or 6 cucumber,or 6 squash,or 12 tomato, or 12 pepper,or 9 okra.
    Just look up mature plant size and allow for that when planting.
    On one bed we have 3 asparagus on one end and use the other 3/4 area for tomatoes and or peppers.
    If you plan well you can locate a tomato bed in an area that gets afternoon shade (I'm in Texas and it does get crazy hot in the summer) and you'll get tomatoes until the first frost.

    can you explain what all you are doing here?
    Why?
    How it is better than just ground gardening?
    I would like raised beds because I am 60 and would be easier for me than bending or kneeling over the ground… You seem a lot better able to do so… so i am assuming the raised beds have another benefit as well as being at a more morkable height?
