Creation of a raised bed
Source: handicraft instructions raised bed
The show with the mouse, WDR
Are needed:
● 4 – 6 Euro pallets
● Possibly 4 smaller wooden boards
● Hochbeet bubble wrap
● Wireframe
● fine laminating film
● drill press
● Hammer
● Screws
● nails
● Cramps
● 1 layer of coarse garden waste (branches, tree cuttings)
● 1 layer of semi-mature compost
● 1 layer of topsoil
● 1 layer of mixture of soil and mature compost
● young plants
● seed
That's how it's done:
1. Screw the Euro pallets together with the drill to create a box (without a bottom!).
2. If necessary, strengthen the connections of the pallets with the wooden boards
3. Line the inner walls of the box with the bubble wrap.
4. Lay out the wire mesh on the floor.
5. Now fill in the coarse garden waste and tamp it down.
6. As the second layer, fill in the half-ripe compost
7. To reinforce the center, thread a piece of wire between the outsides and stretch tightly to prevent the walls of the box from bulging outward.
8. Fill in the topsoil as the second layer.
9. For the third layer, pour in the mixture of soil and mature compost until the box is full and tamp down.
10. Insert plants, work seeds into the soil and water everything.
11. Harvest after a few months and enjoy it.
