We didn't have much yield of vegetables last year. It could have been due to lack of soil richness or rotation of the crops. This year Mr.B helped me in making raised bed (sort of) for the vegetables and made a decent fence with landscaping stones. It seems to be an easy job, but it took quiet a bit of our back and time. First he took out all the weeds from the bed. We dumped around 20 bags of top soil (Miracle grow) and few bags of potting mix before we planted the vegetables. Mr.B even tried spreading out the sheet (weed preventer) but we found it so difficult to plant the vegetables one by one digging the hole through the sheet. Got frustrated and took it off and planted directly . We sprinkled Preen (Organic weed preventer for vegetables) after we were done with the planting. Inspite of all these preventive measures, weeds are still coming up!.
I planted Bush Beans, Snap Peas, Eggplants, Tomatoes, Chilies, Beets & Collard greens
on the vegetable bed.
