I found you based on searching by raised bed with flood irrigation. We too have our lot irrigated (Once/month in winter and 2x/month in summer. Was hoping having a bed with irriagion lapping against it semi-regularly isn't a problem. Does it impact your watering strategy and how do you adjust? Does the flood irrigation help or create issues?

He suggested drawing a curve in chalk on the driveway or sidewalk and using that as a guide so that all of your curves are the same. On the top, the two sides of rebar overlap and are held together by wire that we twisted around them every few inches. The netting is from the local hardware store - you can find it in the nursery section as it's primarily used to keep birds out of trees. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions.

...Very nicely done....nice explanations and pics. <br />I have a few curious questions: Is that a 10ft rebar? <br />How did you bend it so precisely?<br />In the top section did you reinforce the rebar with additional support? Could you pls. post some close up pics of the top section?<br />What kind of net is that?

There is so much trial and error involved with everything from soil to plant varieties to pest control but the rewards make it all so worth it. Best of luck to you and your beds!<br /><br />@allison, Singh Farms is so AMAZING!!! You will absolutely forget you're in the desert. Their gardens are so lush and beautiful and they have the most incredible farmer's market.
