Loving my jungle! I built this bed enclosure last year late in the summer so this is my first real season.
Looks cozy! What material did you use for the bed?
Corrugated galvanized steel roof panels with a frame of 2x4s. I’d never built anything before, so I had some issues with bowing almost immediately, which just got worse over winter as the soil settled. We put in some braided steel cable braces last month, ratcheted it all back into place, and it’s not budged at all!
Wow that’s awesome. I love your setup.
I’m just happy to be getting a few fruits on my tomato plants this year lol.
I planted way too many tomatoes because I didn’t get any last year, and now I’m going to be swimming in them!! I’m currently battling armyworms though, hopefully I actually get a harvest :)
Looks like you won the battle of the critters.
My spouse calls it the plant jail lol
Well it keeps the deer, rabbits, and moles out. Squirrels however dug up 75% of my corn :|. I’d put a fence roof on but the joro spiders will take over.
Those darn squirrels! We got a motion activated sprinkler for our garden and it’s been super effective.
Before the sprinkler, we were losing at least a Cherokee Purple a day. After the sprinkler, nada.
Love the door! Did you upcycle those posts from somewhere? The decorative caps are a nice touch.
Thanks! It was two leftover 4x4 beams from a neighbor’s project that didn’t get used. The caps are actually solar light caps that I bought on Amazon :)
Ohhhh! They’re some coppery colored metal! I thought they were wood also! Looks great and a little light never hurts 👌
