This is one of my three raised beds. It is 8’ long by 2’ wide. This is my sunniest bed – it gets the morning sun, the midday sun, the afternoon sun and even the evening sun!

This bed, like the others, was built onto a gravelly lot that most would say is just not right for gardening. We laid down landscaping cloth and built beds over that. Between the beds, we put a two-inch layer of sand which we topped with concrete pavers. No weed on walkways, solid, safe and clean.
