| I plant above ground...my family built several large enclosures covered in chichen wire. I use metal duct work supported off the ground using pressure treated 4x4's....The bottom of the metal duct work is about two feet off the ground....No bending to tend the the gardening....We have a seperate compost pile where food scraps are thrown on top off....We transplant what sprouts from the compost to the garden also. Watering is less because of the planters..If planted like a garden...the surrounding soil would absorb the excess water. |
