Costa Georgiadis Instagram – The garden beds we make are super easy, cheap, and productive. If you’re wanting to grow food on grass, get some cardboard from a bike shop or whitegoods shop and cover the grass, wet the cardboard, and then add a bit of soil or compost. If you’re not dealing with grass, you can skip this step.
You can just make garden beds without an edge, but honestly making an edge with whatever you have lying around makes life so much easier. We used old fence posts that we got for cheap from a local farm. Other people use old bricks, logs, or scrap timber. We didn’t screw ours together, we just placed them around the bed, making sure each bed is the same size. They keep the compost in the bed and the wood chip out of the bed, and it means next season when everything is overgrown, it’s easier to plan what goes where next.
Add some fertility by adding compost, then plant your seedlings in. We make hoops out of poly pipe – make them twice the width of the bed. We hammer bits of rebar in to the ground for the poly pipe to slot over. Then, if you have problems with birds like us, cover in pieces of orchard net that have been cut to size to protect your plants.
Stay tuned to see how they grow 😁
How do you do your garden beds? What do you think of our way?
