I love fresh salsa and I love growing the ingredients. What I have not liked is that it takes a lot of chemicals and a lot of water to grow the ingredients. I started to feel guilty about using chemicals and so much water when there’s such emphasis on cleaning up and conserving so I started researching ways to garden a little greener. I discovered the Orcaboard 4 x 8 x 2 Raised Bed Garden Kits and they have been the perfect solution. They are affordable, very easy to snap together and environmentally friendly. They don’t need to be painted or stained, the veggies require less fertilizer and bug resistant chemicals because it takes less water to keep the garden patch the right degree of moistness.

The Orcaboard raised bed is also designed to accommodate a top rail that makes it comfortable to sit on the edge of the bed while gardening so there’s no bending or kneeling. You should see my pretty rows of Cilantro, Onions, Peppers, and Tomatoes. I believe I’ll add another raised bed to grow flowers for my wife because I read that the combination of some flowers and veggies eliminates the need for some insect repellents.
