Planning a Raised Bed Garden (Pt. 2)
If the gardener does not have a pretty clear plan in the noggin, it is a good idea to draw the plan out on graph paper. Some definite organization is necessary, especially if this is a partial construction. If this is a refurbish, after laying out the plan on paper, lay it out on the ground.
String is best to lay out the beds and pathways but make sure none of it is left in the garden as it will tangle the tiller. Once the garden has been laid out with string, it can be marked with spray paint or lime. This step will have to be repeated after the tilling is complete.
If this is a refurbish and plastic or ground cloth has been used under mulch in the pathways, probably the hardest part of the whole project is finding and removing the plastic. When this is complete, a few more pieces will still be found with the tiller, slowing the entire process.
