Raised beds
Raised beds for gardens are easy to set up, less work to tend, offer better pest control, and yield more produce per square foot than regular gardens. The Food Pantry is offering raised bed kits in cedar, which resists rotting, warping and cracking and is a natural insect repellent. Our kits can be “dirt ready” in 15 minutes. There are many sizes available – or we can build to the size of your choice. See the attachment for prices and more information. All profits go to the Food Pantry. Call 675-1177 for more information and to order.
