New raised bed


We've finished one raised bed with bricks. After removing the old lumber and weeding the beds, I filled them with new compost and loam. Karen helped by making the surface for the first layer of bricks flat. Since we're just laying the bricks without cement, it's important to have them flat and consistent. Once we built the bed (70' x 5') I smoothed out the compost to fill the bed and added my homemade organic fertilizer. We will be planting early spring veggies like radishes, beets, lettuce and carrots this weekend! I also have another bed to finish and more compost to move!
