Gardens
Up one levelProducing our own food is one of our primary goals. We've located the first garden on our property between the greenhouse and barn. We plan to focus on gardening in raised beds, as well as experiment with winter growing and seed saving.
- Constructing Raised Garden Beds
- In preparation for our first vegetable garden we spent several weeks constructing raised garden beds. We designed the raised beds to protect the plants from wind, sun and hail, as well as to extend the growing season. We are making a sets of removable panels to enclose each raised bed that will also offer maximum protection from critters.
- Building a Garden Fence
- We explored several ideas for our garden fence, but settled on a fence construction method that utilized readily available materials and could be installed quickly. Our garden fencing is made from wood fence posts, metal t-posts, large mesh hog wire, chicken wire and barbed wire.
