La quasi-totalitÃ© de ce que vous pointez arrive Ã Ãªtre Ã©tonnamment prÃ©cis et qui me fait demander pourquoi je n’avais pas examinÃ© cette question dans cette lumiÃ¨re prÃ©cÃ©demment. Cette piÃ¨ce fait vraiment particulier allumer la lumiÃ¨re pour moi autant que ce sujet particulier va.

This is exactly what I’m looking for!
My nice but bared backyard is all concrete floor and concrete block wall.
I planning on making plant/garden boxes with heavy casters instead of permanently anchor them onto the ground (make sense to move them away from blaring sun, no?).

Nice work! For others considering a similar approach, you can also cut the concrete into usable chunks or strips (if it isn’t reinforced with a metal mesh) using a rented diamond-blade saw. Reuse these pieces of “urbanite” to construct your beds, firepit, or stepping stones. Keeps it on site and saves the trucking and landfull/recycling fees.

definitely a great use of space and thinking outside of the box. Thanks for sharing. If everyone who had this option did this can you imagine the net impact? Excellent.

Very nice article. This past year I built my own raised bed garden and the veggies have been flowing. Love seeing everyone interested in growing their own.

Your beds look great! What a great project to work on with the family! We have an urban farm in West Philadelphia and our beds have been doing great this season. We’ve handed out about 300 pounds of food to the people of Philadelphia. Our goal is to teach the community about nutrition and provide them with healthy food. It’s a great way to get families involved! Good luck with your garden and keep up the great work!
