Ugly Raised Bed

Everyone needs a launching area, so this idea might work for you. Here is a raised bed made out of cca 2″x6″ ‘s (2’x8″ is nicer) that I had laying around. Four stakes were driven in each corner with a screw in it to hold it down. The ground around this area is not the greatest and I needed something quick. I bought bags of top soil and compost and threw it in. The dirt is awesome and you can grow anything in it. I am using it as a place to start trees or if I need to get something in the ground quick. In July I had received ten trees from “the Arbor day foundation”, so I am not even sure what some of them are. I had a few maples that I found growing in some flower pots under the maple tree, so I threw a few in here. There was one maple that took off and it is well over 3’. It got transplanted already. These are a little slower. I have no idea where I am going to put these, but it’s fun watching them grow. A pet peeve of mine is to have nice looking trees that grow straight. This will be a spring project to get these trained early on.
