Modern Raised Veggie Beds
During the month of April , we expect our readers to share photos illustrate how they ’ve gone fleeceable in their gardens . This post was a favorite among our editor in chief , but it was n’t easy to choose .
Here ’s what our victor , Curt Slangal , had to say about his garden :
“ I start garden at a very unseasoned age , about 11 or 12 , and it ’s been nonstop . I garden for the simple rewards nature gives in payoff . They are so magical – not just in a visual room but also the phantasmal beauty it bring into my somebody – it ground me in a way nothing else can . ”
“ It is an organic garden and I lean to it daily . Keeping it an all - natural small distance has its challenge but it is full of life and it provide me with goodies to eat and to partake in . ”
“ Raised bed gardening is a must in South Texas because raised bottom require less water and put less focus on our water resources . And that is what makes it so green : it conserves piddle and still farm delicious solid food . ”
“ The boastful error beginners make is they endeavor to do too much all at once and then fail . Keep it round-eyed , start off small , enjoy a little success … That will encourage a more successful garden . ”

I have had great results with raised bed gardening. I designed these raised beds using treated 2x4s and corrugated tin. The results have been great. Lots of compliments and a water saver too–that’s important in South Texas. Last fall 6 tomato plants produced over 400 tomatoes.
