I am new to gardening, so I am eyeballing this first project. Please give me tips on anything I should change.
I'm refurbishing a relatively small (24 x 52 inch) raised wood garden. My current design includes mounting the legs at a variable height, so the bed sits at a slight angle. This lets the water drain to one edge. I would then drill a hole in the corner, and attach a thick cloth and wire mesh above to maintain its integrity, but be permeable enough to soak up moisture from the soil. The bottom and inside are already waterproofed.
It is 24 inches deep but I will be putting about 16 inches of soil inside. I am planning on growing (hopefully): Carrots, radish, bell pepper, tomatillo, and basil, and some flowers I actually have three separate units, so I have room to plant any natural pest repellents needed. I am in Tucson, AZ. This is just a small project so I can learn more about gardening.
I am not sure if this is a good idea, or if I am missing some key details. Please let me know how to improve it! Thank you
