what kind of gravel do you put down before you put your garden on top? do you lay anything under the gravel 1st like landscaping paper? basically how do you prep your area for raised beds if you want to lay gravel?
Short and right to the point. This is a very informative video.
I really dig the way your yard is set up, I bet your yields are excellent.
Great job Patti!
I started my hoop houses by simply bending limbs and sticking them in the ground…then i covered them with plastic and put dirt around the bottum to hold the plastic in place. Worked great and im getting my third crop where i used to get one or two.
i have been trying to build a “hoop house for 2 weeks i like ur idea a lot more its plain simplisity compared to mine thanks for the vid u saved me a lot of time

Do you think a hoop house would work as a good squirrel barrier? I was thinking of attaching chicken wire to the top…

No way! She uses rabbit manure and compost to ammend with. Her soil biology is a roaring symphony of life just like anyone who grows like her..

Well a hoop house will heat up earlier in the spring and stay warmer in the fall..so adding time to your gardening season =)
