Raised Bed Maintenance


This is the end of the fourth season with the raised beds, and they have required virtually no maintenance.  But the gravel has settled and migrated leaving areas where the stabilization mat is showing through.  So today was gravel renewal day.  It sounded like a big job, but with three people it was done in a jiffy.


The gate was designed to be juuuust wide enough to drive the small tractor through.


Mike and I used shovels to direct the gravel into each wheelbarrow as Tim dumped the loader.


Then we wheeled it down each path dumping as we backed out, concentrating on low areas.


And raked it smooth. All Done.
