Re: Raised Bed
Paul:
These are just guidelines, but according to Chris Anderson, et al, per plant,
you need somewhere between 500 to 700 sq ft per plant, if you are aiming for a
"big'un". In addition, the latest information published in this list. gives root
depth at approximately 2 ft, so your bed depth should be at least 6" lower than
that.
If the soil below the location of the raised bed is good to a certain depth,
you should take that in to account in your equation. No matter what size your
bed, remember that any garden is only so good as its soil. Make sure you fill
your raised bed with good soil & work up & condition any soil beneath it, to the
depth you need.
Good luck
