Any Raised Bed or Square Foot gardeners out there?

once I get better from being sick and I have things setup I will find out but I've sort of done it in square pots (not 1 square foot kind though but smaller) and its not bad for herbs. I haven't tried it with any thing else though but it would be interesting to do it all out.

Raised beds are awesome. Heats the soil quicker so you can pla t a little sooner and tends to be weedles the first year, portable as well. They tend to dry out quicker than planting in the ground so be prepared to water frequently.

I have 600 sqf in raised beds growing veggies and indoors I've been "square foot gardening" since before the term came to pot growing. I flower in 1.1 cubic ft. milk crates with plastic bags as a liner. These pics are from 2001-2004

What would you like to know?

I've grown some veggies with a raised bed. The biggest trouble I had was with critters that burrowed under the frame. If you have occasional moles, etc., I would recommend putting down dome sort of barrier under the raised bed to prefent this. That's what I have now, but it was a PITA to put it in AFTER I had the beds set up.

luv raised beds , they make feeding easy and keep the soil moist on the hot summer days , and if you got pest problems Nite next time you can lay down some chicken mesh at the bottom before you add the soil

Yep. That's what I did... no problems since. TY

raised beds are tough to keep watered. heavy mulching is required. and never, ever turn your soil. fork it. been gardening raised beds a long time. fed myself thru college.
check out, "Sroggy's 2012 Garden." stop by any time.

I've had great luck with large smartpots, which are essentially raised beds:

Too lazy to separate out the smart pot pics but they worked great. Those are 65g and I ended up with 8' tomatoes and a shit ton of basil, eggplant, kale... from them.
