Raised Beds
The amount of “structure” in our yard is increasing daily, it seems. This weekend we erected two raised beds on the site of two mounds of soil that we’ve been tucking plants into, here and there, for the last two years.
The beds are constructed of 2×6 lumber, two high. Each bed is 4 feet by 8 feet. Each board is secured to eight (4 on each side) pieces of rebar that are driven about 1 ft into the ground with 1 ft above ground, by zip ties, which also holds the pvc hoops in place. Essentially, we just drilled holes in the boards and attached them to the hoop structure. It all went together pretty quickly.
In the background, you can also see the new back “wall” of the nap cabana. We had reedcloth up before, but the raccoons or scrub jays or some other pesky creature kept tearing it down. So, we covered the back with a repurposed museum banner. The image is a glass sculpture.
