Small Vegetable Garden Raised Beds
Are you considering starting a small vegetable garden, but don’t have the space or the soil? A great option is to use raised beds. Raised beds are a great way to garden if you have limited space, or if you want to improve the quality of your soil.
There are many different ways to build raised beds. You can use lumber, bricks, rocks, or concrete blocks. The important thing is to make sure the sides are at least 12 inches high so that you can easily work the soil.
If you are using lumber, you will need to use treated lumber, as regular lumber will rot quickly. You can either use a simple design with boards running lengthwise, or you can use a more intricate design with boards running crosswise.
If you are using bricks, you will need to lay them on their side so that the soil can drain properly. You can either create a square or rectangular bed, or you can make a circular bed.
If you are using rocks, you will need to use a lot of them, and it can be a bit of a challenge to put them together so that the bed is sturdy. It is a good idea to use a geotextile fabric between the rocks and the soil to help keep the soil in place.
If you are using concrete blocks, you will need to create a rectangular or square bed. Be sure to use a level to make sure the blocks are even, and use mortar to hold them together.
Once you have built your raised bed, you will need to fill it with soil. You can either buy soil from a garden center, or you can make your own. If you are making your own soil, you will need to mix equal parts of compost, topsoil, and sand.
Once your raised bed is filled with soil, you are ready to plant! You can plant vegetables, flowers, or herbs in your raised bed. Just be sure to choose plants that will do well in the type of soil and climate you have.
A small vegetable garden in a raised bed is a great way to get started gardening, even if you don’t have a lot of space or good soil. Raised beds are easy to build, and they can be used to grow a variety of plants.

How To Prevent Chipmunks From Digging Under Raised Vegetable Garden
Beds
Chipmunks are pesky little creatures that can easily get into your garden and ruin your vegetables. One way to prevent them from doing this is to build a raised vegetable garden bed. This will keep them out of the garden and allow you to grow your vegetables without any interference.
If you already have a raised vegetable garden bed and are experiencing problems with chipmunks digging under it, there are a few things you can do to stop them. One is to place a wire mesh fence around the bed, making sure it is buried a few inches below the soil to prevent the chipmunks from digging under it. You can also place a wire mesh lid on top of the bed to further deter the chipmunks.
If you are not able to fence off your raised bed, you can try to use a repellent to keep the chipmunks away. There are a number of different repellents available, such as peppermint oil, cayenne pepper, or castor oil. You can either spread the repellent around the edge of the bed or spray it on the plants.
Chipmunks can be a nuisance, but with a little bit of effort you can keep them from causing damage to your raised vegetable garden bed.
