Bed of Lettuce

In early September I created a 4'x4' terraced raised vegetable bed on my sloping front yard. It was the second raised bed I created in as many months. In August I created a 4'x 16' raised vegetable bed in the center of my front yard. That one was built using commercial pavers. This smaller bed is made from recycled concrete, similar to the big retaining wall I built earlier this summer, only this bed is dry-stacked rather than mortared.

Raised Vegetable Bed

In late August I added a raised vegetable bed to my front yard. As you can see I built it from commercial pavers I bought at Home Depot. I had wanted to use recycled concrete to match the retaining wall I built earlier this summer. But after driving around my neighborhood all month and not seeing any contractors ripping concrete out, I conceded and bought pavers.
