Raised Bed Gardening with DNF Organic. |
My husband (there's his reflection in the window) built two raised gardens using brick. He didn't bother with mortar because we don't want them to be permanent and they have held quite nicely. You don't have to use brick. Wood is obviously less expensive. Friends of ours broke down pallets they had gotten for free and used the planks for their garden bed walls.
We filled the beds with triple mixed, planted the seedlings we bought and watered with Hydrothrive. The following pictures were taken May 24 weekend when we planted. We planted herbs in the self watering Eco Planter and placed it on the wall.

Along the wall from front to back, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, roma tomatoes and big boy tomatoes. |

A week later after the plants were established we started fertilizing with Homegrown's DNF Organic Grow.We also used DNF BLACK weekly which enhances the flavour and colour of fruits and vegetables. Then we just sat back and waited...
