Rebuilding the raised bed

lost raised bed in summer 2016

In winter 2014/2015 we constructed the raised bed full of old wood and waste from the rough garden. It was a first little workshop in the UNIIE (free university of informal education). It was one of the highlights to start in the color garden. With amazing help of Benny, Mariella, Margret, Eike, Sonia, Che and Noah we moved more than 3 cubic meters of wood and realized the first raised bed.

In later summer after some rain and without care and mainenance the bed was not in a good condition any more.

raised bed rebuilded and soil protected with straw and dry brown waste of garden plants

After cleaning, rebuildung the stone walls and protecting the soil (really good quality now!!) we mounted a vat for brew of pieces of plants. Later we use the brew 1:7 with water to irrigate the garden plants.
