Gardening

The frame for the bed you see is sitting directly on a concrete driveway. The bed is 12 inches deep.
The secret to success for me has been that I am lucky to have a friend who supplies my soil. He owns a dormant sawmill that has 80 years worth of sawdust and wood chips rotting in huge piles. The stuff is light weight, well drained, and yet still holds moisture well. I add a few handfuls of blood meal, some bone meal, and a little dolomitic lime before I plant and everything seems to do well; so well in fact that I doubled my bed count this year. The new beds are actually on the ground though, as there is no more room on the driveway. I hate mowing grass for many many reasons, and this was one way to greatly reduce that, and supply a large portion of our produce for the year (a lot of canning goes on around here in the Fall).

and... weed tea? How do you get it to burn?
