Satellite Dishes Made Into Raised Bed Gardens FARM HOME Food My wife Lois and I repurposed a pair of old 6 and 8-ft dia satellite dishes into raised bed gardens The dishes set on top of rear tractor tires which are smaller than the dishes making it easy to mow grass around them The photo shows a 6-ft dish The edge of the dish stands about 18 in off the ground Both dishes already had a couple of holes in them and I drilled more holes to drain excess water I placed a layer of gravel on the bottom of the dish then installed garden cloth and added topsoil This summer we were away for a few days so I used pvc posts and netting to keep deer away The soil at the center of the dish is 6 to 8 in deep but shallower toward the edges Next year we’ll fill the dish with more soil so it will be deeper Mark and Lois Julin 25515 Raleigh Hill Rd Shevlin Minn 56676
