How do you do this with seeds like cucumber which are really small and soft? I know corn would be easy, just a few kernels... pumpkin is easy enough too.
How do you get carrots? and zucchini?...oohsam is confuzled.

Also I wonder about having the bed directly against the brickwork - you'll basically be watering the bricks. Personally I'd rebuild the bed to get it away from the house. Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: My veggie garden (with pics) 33Oct 17, 2010 9:45 pm Pretty easy to do a bit later All good lessons learnt Will look good with a narrow path between the house and the veggie bed. It will work because it will have a practical purpose and so aesthetics won't apply. Use gravel or sawdust as a path surface I think for the reasons outlined so far this thread of Oohsams is going be great for many to read and follow We can watch it evolve Re: My veggie garden (with pics) 34Oct 19, 2010 10:02 am Cabinfever Access into the back of the bed may be a problem.

The garden bed is not up against brickwork. The top level of the soil, is the bottom level of the last brick. The only brickwork is the side where you can see the door however that has been protected with drainage and scorrier rock so no water will ever get stuck up against the wall. There is no issue at all when building a wall against bricks. the key is to keep the water away. There are 2 things you can use here. 1. is what I did, and some scorrier rock with some AG under it guiding the water away from the wall, or 2. you can use these - they are called Atlantis drainage systems. it goes between the bricks and soil, and works fine to keep wet soil off the bricks so you don't get damp walls.

Re: My veggie garden (with pics) 36Oct 20, 2010 7:57 am @oohsam Ah ! Thanks for the clarification. Great construction shots. I wish I was more meticulous - I usually finish a project and then remember I never took any before shots. Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves. - Dale Carnegie Re: My veggie garden (with pics) 37Oct 20, 2010 11:12 am Does anyone know where to get those drainage mats from? I'm building a raised veg garden down the side of my house, but its up against one of my walls, so this looks perfect for me. Point Cook, Victoria - Being hounded by the fascists!!
