araness Auburn, AL (Zone 8a) March 8, 2011 7:12 PM Post #8415548	While at Costco the other day a prefab raised bed talked me into bringing it home..since I have a horrible black thumb (hence the reason I use EB's) I need some serious help. it's a 4x4 Lifetime 18" deep bed (link below) http://www.lifetime.com/lawn-garden/gardening/raised-garden-... I want to see if I can sneak in some radishes before it's time for melons as well as grow (along with the melons) some okra. Ideas on everything and anything welcome..varieties of melons, soil type how to amend, how often to water.. Click the image for an enlarged view.
