My Raised Flower Beds
I have a particular landscaping challenge that I want to fix in my garden this year. The last tenant in my house pulled up the entire front lawn and turned it into a garden space. Love it! Except that it’s a huge space without any sort of pathways or bed shaping.
This makes for easy tilling, convenient crop rotations and flexible planning each year, but it also means way more space for weeds to grow, stepping on crops and a sloppy looking front yard.
I want to keep as much of that space open for planting in the front yard as possible this year, but I also want to create some easy to maintain pathways and confine the amount of exposed space so I can actually keep it weeded for a change.
Solution: raised garden beds
There are several options out there for the do-it-yourselfer, and I managed to luck my way into the cheapest option of all: Free.
