,
I decided to return to the raised garden beds for my gardening adventures this year.
This will be my 6th gardening season & I've used raised garden beds for all but 2 years.
Honestly, I prefer an actual tilled garden over raised beds. The 2 years we did a tilled garden were amazing. It turns out we have great soil & our plants did very well.
With it being just me this year, I had to return to the basics. Raised garden beds are a lot easier to take care of. I don't have the time or energy to maintain a large garden this year. The raised beds will still allow me to keep a garden but on a much smaller scale. I absolutely love gardening, but I didn't want to get too overwhelmed this year.
So here are the details on the raised garden beds my dad made.
My dad made a raised garden bed for my mom's zinnias a couple years ago & I absolutely loved it. He just took some scrap wood leftover from a project they were doing, but I thought it was so simple & so great.
