Waist-High Raised Cedar Garden Bed

July 17, 2012 garden, nutrition

This is a quick post on my waist-high raised bed garden project.

There was twenty feet of unused space on the South side of my house. This area gets full sun and was a perfect location for another raised bed garden.

Now a quick salad is only arms length from the back door.
