Lol. I know the feeling. I didn’t think I could love my husband any more, but as he built the raised beds for my veggie patch… With him hating all things DIY, that was one labour of love

I love the squash trellis! How many plants did you support on it, and where did they go (center, corners)? Your website is very inspiring!

Sod Cutter! Genius. I love it! Looks a lot easier than our old fashioned shovel and sweat method–and fewer sore muscles, too! We toss our sod into the compost and are looking forward to a prolific pile next year. I am trying some super-simple raised beds–no wooden walls, just gently mounded beds with a little drainage trench along the edges. This is the technique used in “Better Vegetable Gardens the Chinese Way” by Peter Chan. We’ll see how the beds fare against the grass. And the bindweed. And the cats.
Love the website! So many good ideas and gorgeous pictures. Thanks for a fun resource.

Site looks great Willi! I can’t wait to stop by and see the garden for myself.

Hi, Willi. I came here via Hygge House. Your new garden looks great! Love the idea of using the salvaged fence. We recently tore apart a deck and it is destined to become part of a deer (and squirrel and dog, etc. etc.) fence. Looking forward to reading more here.

Are you still going to use salvaged materials for the fence? I thought that sounded like a great idea!

it is looking really good, willi. our backyard is small-ish so most of my veggies/herbs are in containers where I can control the quality of the soil. but now i am very tempted to build a small 3′ by 3′ raised bed.
