2014 was the first year we set up a cover for the raised bed we had built in the back yard in 2013. This is the crop in July. Carrots, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Tomatoes under the cover (13:07:2014) |
|
|
This is the crop in April of 2020. After 3 years of progressively poorer crops the fate is written. Gone at end of season! (24:04:2020) |
The structure had become much more elaborate. With hanging cherry tomatoes, and cross beam for the cucumbers to run on. (08:10:2020) |

The cover is knocked down and bundled as to function. (02:11:2020) |
Bed frame all that is left, with a "free" ad on Craigslist for any one to remove it. Raised Garden Bed Frame, approximately 4 X 8 X 2 - Free for your removal. (Dirt stays!)Has been in use for 5 years, but the big trees on the south side of our yard now filter out enough sun light that things just don't do well.Also have a "green house" like cover made of ABS pipe and PVC connectors that is for sale! All the fittings are "slip together" and are easy to pull apart and reconfigure. (03:11:2020) |

After an hour or so, the frame was gone. Dirt will be moved around the yard to fill areas where there has been subsidence and tree roots are becoming a hazard for mowing. (14:11:2020) |
This is the root of the cherry tree in the front yard that has slowly emerged and has become a mower hazard. (15:11:2020) |

|
And this is one of the big leaf maple roots in the back yard. This one is high enough that the mower blade hits it as you pass over. (15:11:2020) |
