Gardening through the keyhole
Article Abstract:
A rounded garden design with an opening for the path and center is called a keyhole bed and is an ideal space saver for small yards. The rounded design allows a planting area similar to a regular raised bed and offers an attractive alternative to standard linear designs. The smaller path area means frequently picked crops such as herbs and greens should be closest to the border. Regularly picked vegetables such as peas and tomatoes or long-term crops such as corn or potatoes, should be placed at the furthest end of the bed.
