Raised Beds

Happy New Year everyone! With the mild weather we’ve been having, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about green houses. If the weather doesn’t go too far below zero, you can grow salad crops outdoors in the winter. I’ve also been thinking about plans for the spring. One idea I’m excited about is growing potatoes in tires. However, there are some concerns that tires can release toxic metals into the soil. It’s hard to find any actual data on this, though. While looking, I found this nice site on raised bed gardening.
