Hi all, the wife and I will be soon starting an organic non dig garden.
Drivers for this project are as follows -
1) Cost of organic veggies vs cost of setting up your own patch
2) Not knowing what chemicals/ pesticides been used for veggies bought at most places today
3) We are willing to dedicate time
4) It's good for the kids
5) We have finally some space with new PPOR
At this stage all the net research I have done indicates to not use any treated pine sleepers for the retaining wall. The harsh chemicals can get into the veggies over the long term. So before I get past step 1 .. I am just curious ...
1) Has anyone else here have their own ORGANIC veggie patch ?
2) Do you have any photos you can share ?
3) What did you use as a retaining wall ?
4) How much success have you had ?
Hope to hear from you all ...
