The major purpose of Greenhouse is to produce local fresh corps in the confined space no matter what kind climate condition and environmental limitation.
How To Build a garden raised bed
The ideal size for a raised garden bed depends on a few factors. Here are some guidelines:
-
Width: Aim for a width of 3 to 4 feet. This allows easy access to the plants and ensures you can work comfortably without stepping into the bed.
-
Length: The length can vary based on your available space and personal preference. Typically, 6 to 10 feet works well. Longer beds allow you to grow more crops, but ensure you can reach the center from all sides without difficulty.
-
Depth: Most crops thrive in a minimum soil depth of 10 inches. However, you can go deeper depending on what you’re planting and how accessible you want the bed to be. The maximum depth is usually around 24 inches.
When planning the size of pathways around your raised beds, consider the following:
-
Width: Aim for a pathway width of 18 to 24 inches. This provides enough space for comfortable movement and easy access to the beds without feeling cramped.
-
Material: Choose a durable material for the pathway, such as gravel, wood chips, or stepping stones. Avoid materials that can become slippery when wet.
-
Accessibility: Ensure the pathway is wide enough for a wheelbarrow or garden cart if you’ll be using them to transport soil, compost, or harvested produce.
Concrete blocks, a.k.a cinder blocks, can be made with materials that could potentially cause health issues if consumed. Fly ash, which is a byproduct of burning coal and used to make some types of cinder blocks, can leach toxic substances like calcium oxide, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide into the soil.
