Nice interview with Kevin. I’ve always loved container gardening as “overflow” for when I overplant my raised beds thinking it will all fit…i have four raised beds 3×8 ft. (I’m short so four ft wide like Mel suggests are just not feasible. ) And a large garden bed that’s 12×13 ft..and masses of containers! Lol. Just bought my first grow pots this year!

In reply to Therese.

Count me in too. I’m a Floridian gardener who discovered i love gardening when I retired 6 years ago. I do raised bed gardening in wood beds, tubs, corrugated galvanized steel and some combinations of all the above. Every year my garden gets bigger and bigger as I am always into trying new things. This year it is fruit trees all different kinds. I also tried Japanese cucumbers which some grew to 2 feet long and they hung thru my high cattle panels for easy picking and they looked so cool. I also tried bagging my fruits and vegetables so the critters don’t eat them before we do. I just love it all. There is always something to learn.

I use cedar boards in a suburban lot but the wood is expensive… been thinking about using composite wood
