Our Raised Bed Veggie Garden is Off and Running!




We are going full bore this Fall with our display Vegetable Garden at Apenberry's.


Our hope is to experiment a little with different growing techniques (raised bed, container, Earthbox www.earthbox.com , and others).

We are going to try different soil mixes, seeds vs. starter plants, and various fertilizer products.



We filled our raised beds with the Fafard 2P Mix (www.fafard.com). It is a better draining, totally soiless mix than our standard 3B Mix. We added some Mushroom compost for good measure...so we will see how it goes.

We sowed our own seeds. We utilized both the Ferry-Morse Organic Seeds and some our new...super cool Baker Heirloom Seeds (www.rareseeds.com)
We want to learn, educate and eat!
Stop in to check out our progress.
