Keeping It Simple: Raised Beds
· 1 min read
A friend once described the greenhouse as calm work, and the phrase stuck. The best advice I got was just to slow down. For a long time I treated the greenhouse as an afterthought.
Closing thoughts
Below are a few jottings, roughly in the order I picked up them. A cold frame extends the season by weeks at either end. Leave some corners messy; the insects will thank you. The difference showed up gradually, then all at once.
What surprised me most was how little equipment it needed. If you only take one thing from this, make it the part about raised beds. I tried the no-dig version first. It did not last. Saving seed means next year’s garden starts this autumn.
Notes along the way
I am still not sure I have it right, but it is closer. This began as a quick note and gradually turned into something longer. The seasonal part is rarely the hard part; consistency is.
