Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Way back in ye olden days, folks just tilled up a hunk of their yard in order to plant a vegetable garden. Today it’s all about raised beds, vertical gardening, square foot gardening, and other tactics that can be used in small spaces (we don’t have all that acreage everyone had in ye olden days). These methods can be efficient, but you sure can spend a fortune if you want to get fancy.

This 8′ x 12′ raised bed gardening kit runs just shy of $3,000.

To be fair, it does come with a pretty complete setup. Here are some of the features:

• A 6′ trellis for growing your tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, and other climbing vegetables.
• 3′ high rabbit-proof fence to go around the whole thing and keep the varmints from munching your greens (keeps your dogs from getting in and trampling your beds too).
• Galvanized wire mesh to “gopher proof” the beds on the bottoms.
• An automatic irrigation system that “waters the garden for you.”
• Heart-grade redwood construction that’s supposed to stand up to the weather for many years.
• Free composter

A pretty hefty investment, but considering the price hikes for food lately, maybe it’s worth going full-blown into the vegetable gardening scene. (And if anyone wants to send me one of these kits, I’ll be happy to review them on the site!)
