The resident heavy-lifter (man-sort of gardener here) has begun the spring work of creating raised beds out of stock tanks. He purchased them at a place down in Washington state that has cheap prices on such things and hauled them up here last fall. Now, they have been placed on the south side of the barn and it appears he has placed perforated plastic pipes in the bases, with the upwards-pointing end functioning as a port for watering. Stock tanks destined to be a garden On top of the pipes is a layer of river rock, which will eventually be topped with permeable landscape fabric, a few inches of sand, and then potting mix. I have some doubts about the whole YouTube-researched project, but it seems many others have tried this sort of thing and have had success. The home-design website, Houzz, even has a selection of photos of such garden additions. I originally had dreams of a French-inspired gated- and lavender hedge-surrounded potager garden complete with ornamental allium, calendula and sweet pea flowers. He wanted to match the barn's metal roof with the adjacent metal tanks to complete the agri-industrial look. Whatever. My planting ideas for these things so far includes tomatoes, peppers, strawberries and lettuce. We don't need herbs in here because they already have their own very successful location elsewhere. With the high number of rodents around here, un-protected strawberries quickly disappear. I am planning to cover one entire tank with netting just to protect the strawberry crop. After that thought, I also wondered about covering another one with a shade cloth tent in which to grow lettuce in shaded comfort, so that the Okanagan heat doesn't make it go to seed so quickly. Any ideas or tips?
The wicking bed, or self-watering garden, is not that mirage of water in the desert. Rather, it is one of the most user-friendly growing infrastructures for all the lifestyle, time-poor, lazy gardeners out there. Using the age-old idea of capillary action, water in a reservoir below is drawn up and into the soil, to be used by the plants as required. Ever dipped a tissue in a glass of water and watched the moisture climb up the fibres, defying gravity? A wicking bed works in the same way.

DIY Raised Garden Bed With Cover
I'm really excited about this post. This was a project that definitely exceeded my expectations. Jake and I are wanting to start planting food as soon as possible and making our raised beds was the next step. We have SO MANY natural materials lying around our property, that we knew we could surely make something without spending a penny. Jake did some research, found inspiration for this idea and went with it. Step 1: Clear some land area We found some stakes just chilling in our yard Step 2: Sharpen stakes with whatever means necessary (just be careful with those machetes!) Step 3: Trim up some bamboo (save the thin ends for future marshmallow roasting) We did a trial wall of the raised bed to see how it would work. At first I was skeptical, but as the wall grew, so did my excitement. Step 4: Hammer stakes into the ground at each corner of planned bed and 1 or 2 in between the corners. Step 5: Weave bamboo in between stakes. We chose a 5'x8' format for this raised bed. This trial wall is the 5' side. Finished weaving! Step 6: Trim off stakes Finished! The finished wall looked so great, we decided to build the full thing. But first, sharpen more stakes! Measure for placement, then hammer into the ground We added cardboard at the bottom for our base layer of the bed itself. Jake undid the trial wall, and started over so all the bamboo would interweave well. Then he realized bamboo wasn't THAT bendy and switched to 4 stakes instead of 5 on the long ends of the bed. Trim off the stakes at the very end. Finished!! So proud of him.
