... Raised bed gardening ...
Helping at the local food pantry, rebuilding their Community Garden. Many wooden "raised beds" rotting after 8 years of service.
I've been redesigning and rebuilding with 8" cement blocks. Should last for decades-lifetimes, with minimal maintenance!
Holes in blocks should make excellent "pots" for various flowers, herbs, small plants.
Marigolds and petunias repel most harmful insects, found some dwarf Dill that is even more effective, might have to prune-harvest continually. Started ♫ Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme ♫ as well as Oregano, Basil, Lemon Balm for 6" x 6" x 8" holes ... with good soil. Lined block holes in 3rd and 4th beds with tar paper to slow evaporation through blocks. And, hopefully Lime based cement blocks will deter snails and slugs from climbing into beds.
"Donated" rebuilt electric wheelbarrel to local food pantry and hauled a dozen loads of topsoil with a 25% drop in voltage.
Charged back up. 8 cubic yards of topsoil being delivered today ...
Will add pictures and updates
Interesting ideas:
Companion gardening
Sequential crops
Pest control
Rotation crops
Pot gardening (in pots!)
etc.
