Intro and question
Hi all,
I am a long time lurker and new poster. I live on the CT/ RI boarder. I am moving from my urban community garden (un ground plot) to a raised bed as I have moved home with my family for a bit to regroup after hits from the economy. It would have been taxing to commute to be old city 30 minutes away to garden.
They (my parents) were kind enough to let me build a good sized raised bed in their back yard and are getting on board to add food bearing plants into their landscaping. Ive been gardening with the collective for three years and was able to volunteer on the collective's farm as well and learned alot, but I am still new to this. I look forward to sharing ideas and getting tips from all of you.
I was wondering how often/ much you all water your raised beds? I got away with can watering my in ground bed every other day in cooler weather, and drenching it once or twice a week with the hose, but my lettuce pants in the raised bed are telling me this isn't enough. thoughts?
