Make an Instant Raised Bed for Less Than a Coffee

Most people assume raised beds are a pricey garden upgrade - but the truth is, you can make one in minutes for less than the price of a coffee using simple materials you may already have lying around. Here are three of the best!

In the greenhouse bed, the romanesco cauliflower bolted so I hacked it to the ground, leaving the roots to avoid disturbing the carrots that might come out next week or so. It has immediately re-sprouted. Hard to say no in the face of such persistence! #greenhouse #estufa #garden #horta #gardening #raisedbed #growityourself
Very excited by the number of strawberry blossoms. I'll be sure to hand-fertilize them tomorrow when the weather is a bit less soupy.

Blistered cup fungi in the raised beds, common in Europe but new to me. They are toxic if eaten raw but do not hurt other plants--except how they crowd them out. I read that yanking them out will release clouds of spoors, but baking soda is effective. And I remind myself that this was always going to be a year of learning: new country, new climate, new beds, new seed companies, new tools, everything. Why not a new fungus too.

Yay seeds! But... I went into my favorite store with "uma lista!" in English & Portuguese. The seller patiently helped me find things. Reader, I intended to buy six planting potatoes. But in the challenge to express that I would actually prefer red potatoes, despite at first saying either was fine, doing my best with my elementary Portuguese, well: I flat out missed that I was handed a box with 100 potatoes. 100 potatoes! I was so proud to only walk out with *almost* nothing more than what I listed (strawberries & spaghetti squash got past me, but so close.) While not my first #garden, as happens I've never grown #potatoes before, let alone here in #porto. I've drastically rearranged the garden plan. I can now accommodate 18 potatoes, but I'm not sure I should. And even if so... What am I going to do with the remaining 82?! 😳 With a plan for two zucchini, I better figure out an answer I can reuse in a few months! #gardening #raisedbed

🌱 Celebrating the start of making newspaper pots in which to start seeds with the annual reposting of the instructions for the pots!

These are square pots. You can plant the entire pot into the ground, but I usually gently pull off at least some of the newspaper first.

Biodegradable Newspaper Pots

Biodegradable Newspaper Pots: I was going to include the Origami Newspaper Pots with my previous Instructable, Recycled Seedling Pots, as I'm using recycled newspaper to make them. The instructions are a bit more complicated and I realized they deserved their own Instructable. …

It's been a good day, the weather held and managed to get the hoop house built, there is a little more work to do but I'm pleased with the outcome
