New bed

Got energetic and pulled together a new bed this weekend. Roughly 4x8, old cedar logs used to frame it - I have plenty, and considerably cheaper than buying dimensional lumber, cedar or otherwise.

Guess it would help to attach the picture!  

Artie, not bad,

With luck the cedar will outlast my oak logs.  So what is the bedding you used?  It looks like very fine woodchips or even rotted wood.

Thanks Eric!  That is actually some of my topsoil that I set aside from some building projects - pretty high clay content, but also a fair bit of rottted wood in there as well from roots/stumps. Good eye!

Probably fairly acidic, so maybe I should have raked in some lime. Will mulch with some compost - that might help.

Planted out with onions, Brussels, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower.

I think that will do very nicely.  I love raised beds,  they just seem to make life go easier for growing things.

Artie Scott, How about a pic of the bed now?
