RAISED-BED GARDENING

Posted by Anthea on November 8, 2008 at 1:00pm
I'm a raised-bed convert ~ they are wonderful for disguising compost heaps in an urban setting, not to mention solving the problem of compacted desert soil and rabbits. Would anyone like to see adobe-cob walls and learn how to make your own raised beds? I'd be happy to host a group here - a nice way to meet you all!You're welcome to tour my website garden too: http://wowkay05.googlepages.com/cherryhillsgarden

    I love the adobe cob walls! I'd love to learn how you do it. Any plans for another tour or workshop?

      Hi Melissa - sorry for the delay, I just found your message. Thank you for your warm response to the cob walls! I wish the HOA felt the same! I'd be happy to hold another "tour" day - or you might prefer to do some hands-on work? Peg was interested in actually learning how to do it, so we might find a Saturday afternoon that works for all of us. Is December too busy for you?

    So we're having a small RAISED-BED GARDENING meet on Saturday Nov 22 at 3pm for anyone who would like to drop by - checking out Anthea's cob walls! Location: Sun City, near 111th and Alabama.

    yes, I plan to be there. I'm getting several ideas on how to put these walls into my landscaping. Right now I have mainly dirt in the back yard - a blank slate - although I did plant a garden in the corner of my yard. I ordered 20 fruit trees and 4 grape vines, so I have lots of digging to do. What time should we be at your house?

      How about 3pm?
    • Peggy Sorensen > Anthea November 11, 2008 at 9:38pm
      I think 3pm will be fine.

    Great, Marcy! Peg is also interested, so that makes two. Saturday afternoon might work well - how about Sat. Nov 22? I'm attending a Feng Shui workshop in Peoria on 15th - hoping to get some more info on garden design!
