Set stage. Need to add more growing space for growing herbs. Have someback yard, sun. I have several raised beds, started as flowers, now mishmash, don't ask! Everything evolves. Right?! So got, yes I did a coupleof those raised garden thingies from Home Depot. 4 x 4, cedar, 7"height. Next. Didn't rain for a couple days running, mowed that area. Figuredtomorrow, scheduled to be pretty.....work on 1 bed. Farmers Market inAM, can come home with another bucket of worm pooh. Lay out area. Gotedging (rigid plastic 4" deep, 4' long). Put down to ground level, as Ihave worked on with other beds. Do wood frame stuff. Put downyesterday's newspaper. I got a couple bags of composted manure andcompost at the box store. Figured to put that on paper. Then startbuilding. Top soil, cotton burr compost, worm pooh, other compost etc torim. What's going in?! More basil. Then pineapple sage, lemon verbena,chives, lavender. I have all of the above, just need more! Now, that's anice area for some yarrow, cone flower, rosemary.... Help me before it's too late! Or, does this look like viable plan forthe little bed?
