Lettuce table for growing vegetables right on the patio.

WE have loved this addition to the patio. Lettuce, Baby Bok Choy, Spinach, Miniature Bush tomatoes, and all sorts of greens can be grown most of the year here. We have added drip irrigation and that has been terrific.

    I am in the process of re-purposing an ugly lounge chair into an elevated raised bed and am curious as to your installation of the drip system. Willing to share?

    Yes, I do cover it in the winter with a cold frame type cover. I mulch them well with You need to select cold hardy plants such as spinach , Swiss chard, baby carrots, scallions and mache and get them started by Aug. 1 st. As for irrigation I use Agrifim products ,700 OD diameter tubing with 1/2 gal per hour pressure compensating Dura Flo dripperline. with 12" spacing on the emitters. I run two sections on through the planter and connect to a blank tubing of the same that then hooks up ...»
    to a hose bib with a timer. I run the system 1/2 hour in am and pm.
