One positive outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic is an increased number of home gardens devoted to vegetables
and ornamentals. You may have a picture in mind when you hear the term “Raised Bed” and it will probably fit
into at least one of the many forms of raised beds.
We’ll talk about the size and style of raised bed that fits your needs, the soil or growing medium to use, how to
organize your planting, and steps to take through the growing season. Whether you are solely a vegetable or
ornamental grower there’s a benefit to using raised beds for your gardening needs.
BIO AND THE MASTER GARDENER PROGRAM Ray Hasson is an advanced Master Gardener having taken the UConn Master Gardener course after retiring from a Navy and civilian career. He developed a passion for gardening while growing up in Bermuda. The English school system he attended while his father was stationed there included class time devoted to gardening. He has tried his hand at having a vegetable, or at least tomato, garden wherever he’s lived. He held off taking the Master Gardener course until he could devote his time to the course. Which was NOT what he expected and he jokingly says he’s embarrassed about constantly telling Sister Mary-Margaret that Latin was a dead language. Ray volunteers both in the New London County Extension office in Norwich and in community outreach programs. He and all certified Master Gardeners help local gardeners and to a limited extent farmers and orchardists in identification of insects, diseases, plants, and answer their questions about how to grow or control the plants on their property. You will also see Master Gardeners at fairs, farmers markets, schools, and other locations providing important information about the things that grow in Connecticut. They raise public knowledge about invasive plants and insects. Some of those, Emerald Ash Borers, and Spotted Lantern Flies can have a significant impact on the state’s trees, agriculture, and farm workers.
