Garden Plans > 2015: Vegetable Garden

About this Garden Plan

Built using raised beds. Electric fence installed to keep the raccoons away from my tomatoes. Irrigation system installed using pressure compensating subsurface drip lines and soil moisture sensors. Design considerations include shading, companion planting, green manure, and flowers to attract insects. Butterfly and bee flower bed installed along the roadside. Garden fence is to deter rabbits and groundhogs, and is grounded to electric fence. Exterior field fence is to keep tiny and large humans from being shocked by the electric fence or stealing my tomatoes.
