Raised beds using sand bags.

I have some beds that end on a sharp slope, and I wanted to give them a more definite end. A while back I was in the Honduras and saw them using sand bags to make huge raised beds ten feet high or more on one end. I thought it was a pretty good idea. I think these including sand cost about $1.25 each. The sand bags come with strings to tie them off.

Double dug beds

I have about 110 feet of three foot wide raised beds, all double dug, composted and ready for the spring.This is where I grew my corn.I located some Griselle Grey French Shallots, and a Garlic called Red Janice. I intend to plant them in this area  this week.
