The target in designing the vegetable
garden in this new place is to make it pretty, easy to look after the plants, and
to harvest.
Using thick wood planks, 2 U shaped, a meter
high, a meter wide raised beds were built. Water pipes with drip holes, automatically
timer controlled, 3 rows in each bed, are placed on top of soil. Seedlings and
beans are planted right next to the holes, so very little wastage of water for
weeds.
Exposed soil is covered with mulch, eventually
ground cover plants like pumpkin, melon, sweet potato will take over to cover
all surface.
