Greenhouse Raised Bed Preparation

Here’s a summary of what I did to prepare the soil for the raised beds in my new greenhouse, along with a look at the current layout. It’s really starting to come together. Needless to say, I’m very proud of the results.

    @Learning2homestead 10% ? I’m sure it’ll be beautiful, just like your garden. :-)

    @boat6868 Thanks !

    @Teddybearcop48 So far, I’d say perlite. The verm that I have is real fine grain, whereas the perlite is much more coarse. I’m using it to loosen the soil, and try to get better aeration. Yea…I’m seeing lots of folks doing the worms. I haven’t gotten to it yet.

    @MarinePrepper LOL…the little engine.. thats me too. Slow and steady gets it done for me. Looking forward to those pics…. do I have to buy a magazine to see them ? They’ll probably be so nice that you’ll be published. ;-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @czyhrs They’re coming. I should have some by March 1st…hope so anyways. ;-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @GaryMule LOL…thank you !

  • mhpgardener:

    @cfenster I have 9 beds that are 4 x 5, and that long one that is 2 x 50. I dunno about a 3rd one. This one would have to start making a profit to justify the expense. Not to mention the time factor. I haven’t been able to clone myself yet.

  • mhpgardener:

    @mamaj1013 Yes it is ! Gonna be planting outside in about 5 weeks.

  • mhpgardener:

    @Watsamadoing Thank you mam. Yep..they’re getting on up there. Gonna be 10 ft tall in no time. :-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @neuroleptika LOL… I’m American..no Russian (rushing) around here. :-)  Its hard for things to looked rushed when I’m so slow and methodical. Slow as grandmas molasses at times. ;-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @woringersteve Thank you, I agree !

  • mhpgardener:

    @SteveHarpster Building more furniture huh? hehe….. You have one of the prettiest setups I’ve ever seen. Simply beautiful…and productive.

  • mhpgardener:

    @Unclebobs2 Thx, season extension is one of the biggest reasons for a GH or hoophouse. It allows you to grow things that you normally wouldnt be able to. I hope you’re able to get a GH real soon. I’m sure you’d enjoy it. I know I do. :-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @BexarPrepper You are correct. I am very glad that the hardest part is done. Now I just have to figure out how to make this stuff grow, then we might be able to reap a little bit. I do have some corn that has come up, making my first squash and zukes. I see a cuke forming. Picked a handful of strawberries today. Tomatoes growing like crazy. Cabbage starting to head, lettuce is insane…. I’m trying ! Thanks friend, take care. ;-)

  • mhpgardener:

    @mediamaker2000 The worms are doable. Rock dust? I’ve never used it but I hear its some good stuff. Gonna keep wood chips outside for now, at least until I figure out exactly what the final grow setup will be in the GH. Once the tomatoes are 10 ft tall, and loaded…we can do the helicopter thing. Then it will be Attack of the Killer Tomatoes ! It should make for quite a mess.

  • mhpgardener:

    @BoondockFarms LOL… Please put down the knife and step away from the table sir ! Hahaha…. I’d like to try it with a Ford…..maybe try to grow a new F250 !
