Gardening: Still looking for raised garden bed ideas!

I’ve been all over the internet looking for raised garden bed ideas. If you’ve been using a raised garden for a while and it’s working for you, share a photo or drop me a line. I’d hate to build something only to find out it’s not the best plan. I’m looking for raised garden beds in which I can grow cucumbers because I want to make pickles! Also, leaf lettuce, tomatoes, string beans, radishes, green peppers — the usual salad vegetables that will grow in Maine.

An irrigation system that’s not complicated and doesn’t leave the garden dry: you have a plan? Let me know!

I was just on this site looking at various raised garden bed ideas. What do you think? Is one better than the other?

Comment below or email me at info AT livingwithdana.com. Thanks!

Need your help! Raised garden tips?

I am hoping to have a vegetable garden this summer and need your help. Please share your best garden tips from constructing raised beds to what to plant together to how to keep animals out of the garden. And, of course, canning tips! I can’t wait to make pickles!

I’ve visited some other blogs and have a few ideas, but I want to hear from you if you’ve actually built/used a raised vegetable garden and how it worked out for you. The tips at Tranquil Urban Homestead say what NOT to do. What are your tips?
