This year it will probably max out at about 7-8000 sq ft or so. I am only doing a small section for now. This particular area for garden development is about 24,000 sq ft. Still have some trees that need to go, and do soil amendments as I go. Very acidic, as this was a forest.
My first garden turned out quite well. It was only 40'x40', and everyone was shocked that I actually got something to grow here. I did put quite a bit of effort into it, but hey, I was practicing retirement then
I have done a number of tests with raised beds and containers, and most turned out pretty decent.
I think that raised beds are a good way to go, but don't want to put in any structure until a few more trees are gone, especially a 6' White Oak. Tree Doc said it was on it's way out anyway.
