Woodworking Projects - Veggie Garden

The world is swinging back to backyard vegetable production. We are sick and tired of the chemicals etc. that gets poured into our food these days and we are revolting. Back in the old days everyone had a backyard veggie patch and it was considered the norm. Along came all those leisure activities and functions and before long there was no weekend left so the veggie garden became just weeds and our vegetables were all purchased form the local fruit and veggie shop. Even that has almost gone by the wayside as the giant supermarkets take over the fruit and vegetable industry and dictate prices to the growers. However, we are now seeing veggie gardeners returning to that backyard veggie patch in droves.

One of the main objections to growing veggies at home was all that hard work in digging and garden preparation. But that has all gone too and is no longer necessary. If you are a woodworking buff you can easily build some of the new style no-dig garden beds for your veggies. Imagine that, no more garden digging. Put your garden spade on the hook in the shed and leave it there. Check out some of the plans for raised bed gardening and get started on nice healthy vegetables.

Garden

Basically you will make lumber garden beds with lumber 8" to 12' high and peg it and fasten it securely. These beds need to be only 3' to 4' wide so you can garden without standing in the garden itself as this compacts the soil. Fill these beds with good top soil and then cover with several inches of straw mulch. This will stop weeds growing and will keep your soil at a good happy growing temperature as well as keep it moist. When you plant your seedlings just part the straw and plant. As the mulch breaks down into the soil it will only enhance it so add more as it is needed. That is your only maintenance. A little fertilizer and a water now and then and you are producing happy pest free vegetables. And you haven't used a spade or done any digging. Check out the ideas now in some woodworking plans and patterns and you will soon be harvesting your own healthy veggies.
