I have about 340 plus lilies that were planted last fall. I have them more or less in raised beds but I dug down in the soil quite a bit and used fresh soil and filled them. the actually amount of the bed out of the soil would be about 6 inches.
I have another 70 plus lilies coming and want to do another bed. this time I want it to be level with the ground and build up the sides and not sure of the depth the sides have to be? most of the raised beds I have seen are 15 inches high and to me that is a lot of soil and not sure if the raised part is right on the grass with soil on top. I will use some type of weed control sheet on the very bottom if I have to go that high....
also how big of a bed do you think I will need for 70 lilies. most of them are Asiatic
I also have about another 40 trumpets that are coming later in the springtime......
so about 110 plus lilies have to go in the ground.
this is getting to be a very expensive hobby..hahaha but fun
any thoughts will be appreciated
thanks
Pat
