We started a veggie patch early this spring - we bought a raised garden bed from our local hardware store (around $200 for this size) and set it up on top of the pebbled area of our patio. We're hoping the pebbled area doesn't get too dirty as we're renting.
We used the layering method of paper, mulch, lucerine and various manures (chicken, cow and mushroom compost). Topped off with soil and another layer of sugar cane mulch.

| voila, finished! |
Soon after our garden looked much like this! Basil, marigolds (to keep the bugs at bay), tomatoes and a few other herbs...
