Ollie starts with ... I have hard, rocky soil so have decided to build a raised timber bed for a lemon lisbon. Could somebody tell me what size I should make the bed? What length, width and height should it be? I've searched all over the internet and while everyone says raised beds are great for lemons, I can't find anywhere that tells you what size to make the beds. Thanks. | About the Author Ollie Bacchus Marsh 21st August 2015 3:40pm #UserID: 12224 Posts: 5 View All Ollie's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... The problem with too big raised beds is that weed also loves to grow there. And i don't know what you're planning to do with hundreds of limes but i would prefer to have some variety in fruit. So I would plant some oranges or other tree's as well. My big bed has to be filled all the time since the organic material shrinks fast. If your soil has big rocks or much stones i would first get them out so the roots finally can grow into the original soil. Your rocky soil will become of a good quality after a while, just let the compost do it's work. | About the Author Bangkok thailand 21st August 2015 6:58pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
