The soil in my yard is just not good. Don't think anything was done to it since the place was built. I hoped that by raising the bed, I would have the chance to improve the soil.
The bed today, May 14, 2006. Yup, that sure worked!!! I have been slowly amending the soil, adding some composted leaves, rich topsoil, etc. The bed is actually retaining some water, and nutrients. Saw my first worm in there a few months back. Now, there are buds on my lavender plant. My Rosemary plants are doing well too. I have added mint, a new spanish lavender, thyme, savory, yarrow, jasmine vine, and some periwinkle. I have also put a weeper hose through the bed, to water more evenly and deeply.... I have high hopes this year that things will all take root and do well!
