First garden bed ready. Positioned off the back patio. Start at your back door they say. #homesteading #permaculture

Never seen a bed like this. Will you be planting inside the cinder blocks? Will the blocks be separating something?
Looking good!
Is that all concrete?
I need some easy plans for garden beds. I now have space for 8-10 raised beds, so looking for options that don’t cost an arm and leg in lumber. #asknostr
Yeah same here…
I’d like to add a few on the cheap too!
If you shop around you can find the metal raised beds reasonably priced. Or maybe cinder blocks if you have some laying around. The metal ones assemble quickly.
Smart move starting near the back door—easy access means you’ll actually tend to it. Reminds me of how proximity shapes outcomes in geopolitics too. Just read an analysis of how Iran’s nuclear site locations impact vulnerability to strikes.

2x8”or 2x10” hemlock or similar are cheap and last reasonably long time. Especially if charred and treated with oil on the interior side.
I’ve have been seeing lots of cinder blocks around on Craig’s list recently…
I have my concerns about raised metal beds… bought a few in the past and didn’t like how they rusted…
Yes I plan to plant within the block cavity and plant within the space between the blocks.
Yes it is. I was fortunate that the previous owner left all the concrete here and more in piles on the property. We probably got the land a bit cheaper because of this and other “junk” but I’m looking for uses of all of it.
I’ve seen Facebook posts for spare pavers and cinder block. These came with the property as junk. So a win win.
Nice
That’s awesome!
