Some tips for raised bed growing:
- Design raised beds no wider than 4 feet with space all the way around for easy access.
- Avoid walking on the soil to prevent compaction.
- Mulch after planting to control weeds and keep soil moist.
- Consider a soaker hose for watering. This waters the soil and avoids wetting the leaves of your plants.
- Plant a cover crop such as annual ryegrass in the fall. This can prevent erosion and add nutrients. Simply work the cover crop into the soil the following spring prior to planting.
