Raised Garden Beds in order of which they were installed
Now it's time to re-purpose that rock and stone.
Raised Garden Beds in order of which they were installed
It has been proven by experience that the rock absorbs the sun and holds the heat for the evening. This thermal mass has shown to not only grow plants from seed quicker than those planted in planet earth, but also are much fuller and healthier with the warmer earth contained within the raised garden beds. In the past I've tried wood which does NOT perform anything like rock. Not only does it draw out moisture using wood but also there's no benefit of the thermal heat dissipated to the earth within the planter when the sun goes down. During the early Spring planting this moderating of the soil within the planter is advantageous to the plants and seedlings.
