Berry Patch Raised Bed Construction

This week we are going to discuss the details of our raised beds in the berry patch.  These raised beds also act as retaining walls to prevent soil erosion, so there are actually a lot of structural considerations that we had to think about when designing and building these beds.

Fencing and Raised Beds for Berry Patch

This week we are continuing with the berry patch.  We put in the fencing and two of the raised beds which also act as retaining walls for the two levels in this area.  It has been a lot of work but it should be a big improvement to the homestead.  We are already seeing berries start on what we have planted.

Retaining Walls and Rough Grading for Berry Patch

This week we are continuing with the berry patch.  The past 3 months we have been working on retaining walls, grading, and pulling out rocks to get ready for fencing off the berry patch area.  It has been a lot of work but it should be a big improvement to the homestead when finished.

Breaking Up A Giant Boulder

We had a giant boulder in the middle of where we wanted to put our berry patch.  So it had to go.  It was too big to move, so we had to break it up into more manageable pieces first.
