I think I’ve caught garden fever… … … because I’ve decided to build an extension for a raised flower bed right beside my vegetable garden! Awesome, right?! I had nothing else to do, so I utilized some of the unused bricks I had laying around and built an extended wall to accommodate a raised flower bed. This time, instead of tilling the lawn underneath, I simply added soil and lawn clippings (for natural fertilizer) on top of the lawn. I’ve never done a raised garden before, so I thought this would be a great experiment. Anyway, check it out.

Topped with lawn clippings for natural fertilizer.
Top soil plus garden soil.
Raked in soil plus lawn clippings.
Some more garden soil.
I added 10 more bags of top soil and mixed everything in.
Here’s a closeup shot.

Looks fantastic mate. A few kilos of used coffee grounds would go well also. What do you plan to grow there?
Thanks! Used coffee grounds? I would have never thought of doing that. Do you think it would help significantly for my bulbs?
And I am growing perennials starting from bulbs that I purchased. Check out these two postings for the list of bulbs that I planted:
