Garden Plans > 2018: Fall Vegetable Garden

About this Garden Plan

80x60 Veg Garden with several raised cedar beds, side beds and Open area for large crops such as melons and trellised plants. 2 and 4 foot wide walkways are thickly mulched with free mulch that tree trimmers around the area have dumped in my yard. All areas have drip system with water filters installed. Timer are installed on each bed. For bermuda grass control the entire garden was solarized with thick plastic before the garden was established. It has also been lined with 18 inch root barrier also called bamboo barrier. Its been 2 years and bermuda barrier seems to be working. All raised beds were double dug and ammeded with New Earth compost, Azomite, Medina Growin Green and Molasses.
