Mr. Sunshine
At the moment, we are spending far more on the garden than it is returning. However, the higher initial costs of the raised beds will be spread out over quite a few years. We're constructing wooden raised beds, but will soon start adding cinder block beds that should last indefinitely. We have found that we can produce so much more in the raised beds when compared to fighting the rocks and weeds. We do still grow some things that are not planted in raised beds though, mainly okra and corn.
Corn, at the height of the season locally, usually sells for about 10 ears for a dollar. That's a lot cheaper than we can grow it, but we always plant some anyway. It may not always be so cheap and we want to gain the experience and learn what works best.
