Raised Beds Basics
I am a huge fan of raised bed cultivation as it maximizes efficiency and cuts down on work. I created a raised bed video to support the partnership with OSU Extension Farm to School and Columbus City Schools that details a school garden type raised bed. A quick view at less than three minutes to highlight the basics of constructing, siting, filling and maintaining your own raised bed.
Intro to Zoom plus a Look at 2021 in the Garden with The Greater Columbus Growing Coalition on February 4th at 7pm.
