The Farmer's Basket

Creating the first garden bed was a blast!  We designed what we call "the farmer's basket" out of reclaimed branches and bark from an old burn pile.  We used a "lasgna" garden method to prepare the bed for fall planting.   Over the course of our first year we added a straw bale garden, two cinder block gardens, two wooden framed gardens and a keyhole garden with a rock perimeter.  We are now enjoying onions, basil, tomatoes and squash in abundance.
