The beds...

Many people have asked me what the raised beds in the garden will look like and I found these pictures on the Sunset website and they are pretty much exactly what mine will look like. I think the ones in the pics are 4'x8' and ours will be 3'x6' but pretty much built the same.

I will also be installing sections of PVC on each ends and side as seen in this photo to serve dual purposes...



...one reason for the PVC is to be able to install "hoops" for birdnetting or row covers when need be as seen in the photo below. The other purpose for the PVC is to hold the chicken tractor in place when moved from bed to bed.



Our chickens will not be housed in a traditional coop, they will be moved from bed to bed to work the soil, pick out weeds and bugs and fertilize the soil as well. I not only want to have good cared for chickens and the best tasting eggs but I want my chickens to work for me :)
