2022 garden beds

[mart]

Question for mart.  How do you move them and get them into your enclosure?

Good looking structures and a good idea on the snow and ice liner.

I use the tractor with the pallet forks. I don't have the garden fenced yet so I can come in from the end with the beds. I'll place one then use the bucket on the tractor to fill the bed. Repeat with the next bed. I'll put three more in the garden area then fence it to keep the moose out.

   They look real well built but isn't that the same basic design for a casket as used up there in the glaciated north? :D Good luck with your farming.

[SwampDonkey]

Never seem to have moose bother garden vegetables, but they will chew apple branches for sure.

They have had to thin the herd out a bit here in recent years though. There was just one bull hanging around at the woodlot most of the winter, kinda moved to another area in March, but back this month.

This is probably 100 yards from the garden. ;D





Saw 3 live ones the other day when working out beyond civilization and one dead one in a harvest trail.

We have more trouble with these woodchucks, turkeys and pheasants. The birds like to fluff in the soft garden dirt. You get a hen with chicks and.........:D

Swampdonkey-  Are those windmills in the background on Mars Hill?  If so, I drive by them on my way to Crousville ME.  They are a pretty awesome site from the west side of the hill.  I am sure those moose can prune an apple tree pretty high up if they desire. 

[Crossroads]

Those look good Bruno, I have quite a bit of t&g pine that might work well for that.

Sold 2 beds yesterday 
10 by closing time 1:00 today
Got an order for 4 big ones for Tuesday 
Haven't herd back from the 2 farm stands that sell them if they will need more.

[Old Greenhorn]

You go man! I could make a living off those kinds of orders.
 It's impressive the way you have marketed those into great filler product!

[Bruno of NH]

If I ever have the time a have a couple of ideas for some more value added products. 
I'm going to make this business successful to show all the haters how it can be done.
I think some folks are shocked when they hit the mill yard how much is going on.

[WDH]

Bruno, what you have accomplished is amazing and inspirational.  

[barbender]

If the haters only knew how much free motivation they provide, I think they'd probably give up on it😊

[beenthere]

Who are the haters? Have not noticed any.  

Keep up the good work.

BT,
Not here 
This forum is like family to me
The best support system anyone can have
Mostly old so called friends who thrive on negativity

Do you think white oak would work well for planters?Don't have any cedar around here.

Yes 
I have used some last year

[SwampDonkey]

My brother is going full bore on raised bed gardening. He and his woman have back issues so that's the motivation and they like to garden. My back isn't the best, but I'm stubborn. ;) :D

I watch a fellow on Youtube in Australia and his whole back yard is full of raised beds. He does composting to, which I'd like to do, but I have enough to tend now besides working for a living. I don't need any more work. ;D

Love your raised bed design.

@Gere Flewelling , yes they are. I can also see the Oakfield windmills from here, below Houlton.




Ask anyone here in Royalton, NB about wind, it's always blowing. :D

[WDH]

I need to ash you a question about the plant in the foreground ;D. 

[SwampDonkey]

Yes, a black ash. ;D That thing is probably 60 years old and maybe 4", been in full sun for 40 years. Rings the size of your finger nail. :D
