Life in Secluded Isolation: Existence Beyond Modern Civilization
======================================================
In the year 2009, Greg Seaman penned an article detailing the essential supplies for a thriving raised garden bed. Although modern gardening practices have evolved, the core recommendations from that time remain relevant today.
One of the key components of a raised garden bed in 2009 was the frame material. Wood, such as cedar or redwood, was popular due to its rot resistance and natural aesthetics. The article specifically mentions the Farmstead Raised Garden Bed, crafted from natural cedar, and the Cedar Complete Raised Garden Bed Kit, available in two sizes (8 x 8 x 20").
Soil and amendments were another crucial element. A high-quality mix of topsoil, compost, and organic matter was recommended to create a nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. The article also highlights the Wildflower Farms Eco-Lawn Grass Seed, which could have been used for a smaller section of the raised garden bed.
To prevent soil loss and maintain structure, liners like landscape fabric or felt were recommended. The importance of drainage management was also stressed, with the Farmstead Raised Garden Bed being designed to provide optimal drainage for plants.
Organic mulch, such as straw or wood chips, was used to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Basic gardening tools, watering equipment, and support structures were also essential, with the CobraHead Precision Weeder and Cultivator, a versatile tool suitable for a variety of gardening tasks, being mentioned in the article.
For those interested in composting, the Jora JK270 Composter was a popular choice. This tumbling composter, with a capacity of 9.5 Cubic Feet, was suitable for large-scale composting. The Scrubba Wash Bag, a compact and lightweight portable washing machine designed for travel and outdoor use, was also mentioned.
Lastly, the Scrubba Wash Bag uses a unique washboard system for efficient cleaning, while the CobraHead Precision Weeder and Cultivator is designed for precision weeding and cultivation. The Premium Drinking Water Safe Garden Hose, slim and 7/16" in size, was also mentioned in the article.
In summary, the key recommended supplies for a raised garden bed in 2009 would have included wooden raised bed frames (cedar/redwood), quality soil mixed with compost or organic amendments, landscape fabric liners, mulch, and basic gardening tools. More specialized items like galvanized steel beds or advanced liners are more common in recent years but not typical for 2009. The article was published on June 9, 2009.
