A quick update on my veggie garden taken June 17 2010

John from www.growingyourgreens.com visits Jason’s house in Las Vegas to learn more his raised bed construction and a fake lawn that was installed. Watch this video to learn more about the Trex Raised Vegetable Garden Bed that Jason Built. Also learn why Jason started growing his food.

Here’s my garden located in Atlanta, GA. It consists of 3 raised vegetable garden beds following square foot gardening principals made popular by Mel Bartholomew. The soil is a third vermiculite, a third peat moss, and the last third is a combination of cow/chicken manure along with mushroom and pecan tree compost. Organic homemade compost was also administered to all seedlings when transplanted from seedling pots. All these plants were grown from seed. Here’s some great gardening links I use often.
