A "How To" for Building Raised Beds

November 24, 2011

I use 6' T posts for plants of shorter stature and 8' posts for taller varieties. Since we haven't had our first freeze of the winter yet, most of my spring planted plants have topped the supports and are hanging almost to the ground. I don't think you can really build a support system tall enough for most indeterminate plants. They were also cut back to about sixteen inches tall in mid summer.
