Hello Katie
I have a few questions for you and maybe you could help me, i have built a 4'x12' raised 3 feet off the ground garden bed and have drilled holes in the bottom for drainage.
I am gong to paint the inside with non corrosive oil paint to try to preserve the wood and paint the outside with exterior latex paint for the look is this a good idea, then i will put geotextile at the bottom of the bed with old wooden tree trunks, then cover this with grass and plant residue from last years growth ,and in this residue there is some little cedar mulch, the question here is the cedar mulch bad for the plants that i want to plant.
After this i will put in top soil with compost ,and then cover it with sheep manure, then at the top i will be covering it with Cocoa mulch after planting the plants grown indoors .
The plants that i will be growing are tomatoes, peppers, green and yellow beans, radish, salad, cucumbers, carrots, zuccini.

Thank you in advance Robert
