Do you get frustrated with a traditional row garden? I know I sure do!! It seems that we always hit a rainy period where the weeds grow, well like weeds. Then I can’t get in the garden to pull them because I would sink past my ankles in mud. This gives the weeds a leg up on me all summer long and I just get FRUSTRATED!
What do I do to avoid this frustration? I use raised beds based on Mel Bartholomew’s book All New Square Foot Gardening. However since we moved back to Missouri, I had not gotten any garden boxes made. But with our move to our new farm, I want to get my garden started off on the right foot. So the kids and I took advantage of Friday’s beautiful weather and constructed three boxes that each measure 4’x12’x6″.
