RE: A mini guide to my raised veg boxes - Gardeningchef
Hey there @liberyworms!
I didn't know the wood pieces would be beneficial to my soil mix so thank you for letting me know, I am glad I chose them! We get wood in for our living room stove but often times the pieces are too big to fit hence using them to bulk out the bottom. I will have to have a look around for some lumber seal like you have mentioned, it sounds good for lighter wood staining.
You have a brilliant spot for some new raised beds where you cut that tree down with all that great sun light. I hope you will make a post on it if you put some boxes there!! I'd love to see.
It is one of the best things you can do especially in the permaculture growing. Just big wood chips. Some people even dig a trench and fill with cardboard boxes and then plant the row in front but they break down way faster then large wood. Your essentially slow composting in the bed where you are growing.
I didn't know that, thank you for this useful information @liberyworms! I am going to have to do some more research into slow composting.
