The raised-bed garden is finished and the seedlings have been planted.  But, no sooner than we did, the weather turned cold once again, dropping to freezing at night.  We scambled to add cover to our raised beds.  Fearing that was not enough, we reached out to our friends at Maison Terre, who make natural products including candles.  Fortunately, they had plenty all-natural soy candles.  For many nights and several days we burned candles that kept our little plants warm.  Most survived!  We are all pleased with our effort and look forward to watching the garden grow in the weeks and months to come.

Argenta Raised-Bed Garden: Urban Farming Beginnings

This year, we started an Urban Farming Project.

We are helping committed individuals install gardens in urban or downtown areas.  Our first garden is in downtown North Little Rock.

A couple of years ago, an Argenta resident renovated a 1925 bungalow in the Argenta Historic District of North Little Rock.  She recently demolished a couple of dilapidated outbuildings to make way for a vegetable garden.  We are sharing the information, including plans and materials lists here, so that you can follow along with ideas and/or DIY with your own urban farming project.

 

We chose to make two 4′ x 8′ beds, raised to 16″.  This size fits the space that is exposed to the sun in her back yard, while the design reflects a desire to limit the amount of reaching and kneeling that I would have to do.  We using untreated cedar lumber to extend durability without releasing toxins into the garden.  We also creating a pea-gravel walkway/workway in between and around the beds.  This will be outlined with landscape timbers.  We are using a mix of top soil and super soil in a 2:1 ratio.  Seeds were started a few days ago in little green houses, which you can purchase at just about any garden center.  The seeds were gathered from several organic sources, including Colonial Williamsburg, and at the local sustainability network seed swap.
