hi, this is a project built in glaunthaune cork city ireland in the summer of 2008 for Paula and Declan. garden waterfall, sleeper steps, upright sleeper raised bed, new color scheme, willow fence etc….

SINCE MY BROWN THUMB CAN’T GROW ANYTHING, THE EXPERTS ADVISED ME TO USE RAISED BEDS. SO HERE THEY ARE. BOTH LOGS MOTHER NATURE PROVIDED, (A GOOD DISTANCE AWAY) WHEN HURRICANE IRENE PAID A VISIT IN AUGUST, 3 TONS OF COW MANURE, EXISTING LOAM AND SOIL ,AND A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF (LOBSTA SHELLS AND GUTS), WAS MIXED TOGETHER WITH THE DOZER AND THEN SQUEEZED TOGETHER. A TOP SEEDING OF WINTER RYE AND WE WILL SEE IF THAT WILL HELP NEXT SEASON. IF NOT, THEN I GIVE UP!

In this video I show you how I have built my raised beds. I use untreated lumber and wrap the wood with plastic to extent the life of the wood.

This video discusses general building considerations. Other considerations ~ Ceramic coated screws were used to avoid staining of the Redwood. Hedge row between the road and garden to minimize pollution. The spot can always be converted into an enclosure for goats or chickens.

*If you like the video please subscribe and hit that thumbs up! Hey folks, thanks for stopping in again. Here’s another quick tip to help you along with your balcony garden. We’re going to talk about creating a soil mix for your container garden. However this can also work for raised beds. There are many soil mix recipes out there, but after much research this is what I came up with. The mix seems to have a good combination of aeration and moisture holding properties while also being readily available in most big box stores. Here’s the recipe: 2 parts Potting soil 2 parts Sphagum Peat Moss 1 part Perlite Don’t settle for dumping a bag of potting soil in your containers! This little bit of work is well worth the reward. Your plants will thank you for it! Hope that helps you all out. Get out there and take steps toward preparedness and self sufficiency!

In this vid we show the art of cactus mini-landscaping. It is a true art where the purpose is to resemble the natural enviroment of succulent plants in a small container. This will extend the hobby and you may even give it a scientific turn. Please enjoy. Demonstrated by ruud tropper. Please use only plant material from certified sources. Common cacti and other succulents may turn into a real new experience. Just use your imagination or explore the internet to get a impression of the natural habit of the plants. You may even try to mimic a certain composition you see on a picture or video. I hope this will give people some extra pleassure.

Another one of my European-inspired country fantasies…. RAISED BED GARDENING!! Everything about it makes me squirrelly. The nod to formal gardening…. the convenience…. the ease… the endless possibilities… the joy!! I decided to march down the wooded hillside to my parents piece of country paradise….. where my dad, Dave has indulged me in sharing their charming raised vegetable beds with you. We do hope you are inspired to build, buy (or dream) of some with us…. No matter if you are a vegetable gardener, a flower gardener, having a love-affair with herbs… or simply keep your future garden plans in tucked in a folder of tear sheets and sketches… we hope that our enthusiasm reaches you… to do what you will…. In your own way!!! Breathe in the springtime earthiness of the country with us…. Kisses, Tracy & Dave For more inspiration… please visit us at blog.tracyporter.com
