Question
I HAVE REALLY ROCKY LAND AND WOULD LIKE TO GROW A GARDEN.
IF I BUILT A 6' X 20' BOX AND PLANTED THE GARDEN IN IT WOULD IT WORK AS WELL AS ONE IN THE GROUND? I WANT TO AVOID THE MISERY OF TRYING TO REMOVE AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF BOULDERS. THANKS
I don't blame you, and the answer is absolutely! put a raised garden in, about 12 inches deep by the dimensions you set in the question; fill it with a mixture of potting soil, humus and top toil and then put weed paper down, cut x's in the weed paper and plant your plants of choice, then mulch over....bingo, done! Nick
