OMGoodness, I just happen to viewing raised beds and I happen to see yours and I thought how ingenious of you to ultilize all of the space of the cement block bed. Bravo!

Howdy,
I make my own from Bulk Suppliers, I have a Skidsteer and an Excavator,that I use to mix my materials,it took 80 yards of Mixtures this year. Thank God for my implements 😉
I use Pumice,Decomposed Granite,Topsoils,Compost, Blood Meal, Bone Meal and whatever else I can get my hands on that will improve my bedding..I am hoping to donate at least 2000 lbs of produce to the FoodBank this season for the needy in our community.. PAR = Plant A Row (Plant A Row for the Hungry)
Wow. Huge amounts of produce will come out of there. Quite impressive. What is your growing media mixture? Is that pure compost or have you used topsoil and other amendments?

No, only the corners and one of the middles (on the larger beds) have concrete, that is for rigidity as well as for the trellis’ and row covers.

Do you need to fill the blocks with cement? I see you have soil in the tops of all the blocks. Great garden!

Why 4 block high beds ? Just curious, do you grow crops that drape out so its a self serviing trellis ?
