Deeply Rooted
OK, I am thinking about putting in a raised bed garden next year and maybe starting this fall with my garlic. I have been seriously down sized at work and next year will only be working 15 hours a week so extra money is non-existant. I was trying to think how I could do it without $100's invested. I am a cook at our local school district and I have access to lots of cans (ie from fruit, sauces, veggies...) which we throw away everyday. I was thinking about saving them, staking out my beds, set the cans for the perimeter, then wire the cans attaching the wires to the corner stakes. I thought that the cans would last (no rotting wood to replace) and would also heat the soil so I could plant earily also.
Can anyone see flaws in this concept or suggestions to maybe make it better. I spent hours trying to think of something I could use but I don't want to get invested (just time) with this project to find that it is not going to work.
