Just bought 10 settings for strawberries. I have a 4 year old grandson that absolutely craves them. So my husband and I are going to build us a raised bed for them. Already decided that the potatoes will be in my garden this year instead of my sons. And we will have to set aside another spot for my daughter-in-laws cowpeas that she loves so much. No matter how much I broke them back, they grew into everything. Not having that problem this year. My daughter who lives behind me has one raised bed but may talk her into another so I can help her this year. With 3 households, you need all the veggies you can get. Amen.
I just priced lumber for raised beds here. Best deal by far was 1×12×8ft rough cut pine slabs from a local independent sawmill operator. 5$ a slab. Air dried and untreated but perfect for sturdy raised beds. 15$ to make a 4x8 bed plus 12 screws and my labor. Hope that helps anyone looking.
We did wood as well some years back and had to replace it all of course... a sibling's fam tried out pouring light concrete walls and they did great. Also we watched Back to Eden and are looking around for reliable chip suppliers and are thinking about long row plantings so the boxes might not be our final form.
They worked out for me once, and then failed twice, but i put in a refreshed request once in awhile. hoping the trump flag out front isn't the problem, KEK
Cheap enough, but my son-in-law behind me has a stack of rough cut lumber and I'm about to go confiscate me some. Then all I need is screws and some top soil.
My son also wants to put a hog and a cow on the hill while my daughter is hunting her some chickens. I have a chicken house that was here when I bought the place, but it is full of a bunch of my son's crap that George said he is cleaning out this summer and restoring it back to a chicken house. Then we too can buy some chickens and share in the eggs. May raise some just for frying and baking and such. My daughter-in-law isn't much of an egg eater, but she uses them in cooking. My son however does eat eggs. So it's a win win.
My daughter is an amazing gardener. When she lived near me she helped me set up a container garden. It produced enough for my husband and I for about four months out of the year. I'll be doing that again this Spring.

Thanks. I love this.
Yes, that is what we want to try also. Probably not as pro level, but whatever works!

Amen to that...

Niiiice...
In this day and age you have to be prepared for everything. With 6 adults and 8 kids you've got to do what you've got to do.

Good for you my friend. We've got to show the Left how they can stick it. What we grow will be much more safer, tastier, and wholesome. God bless.
Beef has all the nutrition a human needs
As in, ‘all my food is vegetarian’.

Yes. But I still love my veggies.
