I chose a 4x8 raised bed over tilling my whole yard in Omaha

Everyone said to till for more space, but after three seasons, my single bed produces more than enough with less weeding and water. Has anyone else stuck with a small, intense setup instead of going big?

My neighbor tilled his whole backyard and now spends more time fighting weeds than picking veggies. Emma's got the right idea with that one small bed, honestly. Sometimes less really is more.

Yeah, everyone pushes for more space but my one 4x4 bed keeps us in salad greens all summer. Way easier to manage than my old big plot.

Try growing real food like tomatoes and see how far that gets you.
