Bullitt:
Gotta say, I've never peeked in here, till now! Raised Beds, Gardening, see, we do have something in common!

As for raised beds, my neighbor and classmate's wife, was an extension officer and Purdue grauate! Raised beds were here specialty! She Liked horse manure! Hoping to get out there this week if it stays dry. Radishes, onions, sweet peas, and beets, Oh yeah!

Mullet,I lived in Basalt, down the valley from Aspen. I was there in the late 70's also. The sure were crazy days. Pounding the moguls by day and chasing the ski bunnys at night. Plenty of mind alterating substances.

Still rainy here.Temp seems to like hanging around 40degreesNot the best drying out weather. :'( Got a couple days of sun coming,then snow forecast again over the weekend.

One of the toughest,wettest winters I have ever endured. Oh well, Spring will get here sometime? ???

Good reading about everyone's ways of doing/growing, stuff. keep them coming.

Eric Krewson:
Here is my raised bed, 19'x60', added at least 6000 pounds of composted horse poop to it so far. I can get a ton loaded for $15 near my home by a guy who has 300 miniature horses.

Lots of weed seeds in composted manure, the black plastic keeps the weeds out.

This is an early in the year shot when everything is still small.



Everything grows together later. Here is one cucumber plant, only one.

1.25 to 1.5 pounds, water temp effects it. Hybrid tilapia can get to 2.2 # in 36 weeks.
