I can't use "Greetings from Canada" as a subject, that's been used! So, Hello!
I am from Calgary, Alberta (USDA:3d), and I stumbled across this site while looking up information on Chickens in an urban enviroment. We currently are not permitted to have them, and there is a woman going to court in April to fight for the right to have them.
I already had built raised beds at my old place which I left for the next tenant, but now that I have a home and a yard of my own, I'm very excited to try out some of the ideas here! Especially the pumpkins, and watermellon up the chainlink fence I saw in Patti's videos!
I have to say that I have poured over everything here, and I love the information that's here. Once the snow in not so deep in the backyard, I'll be making my measurements to see what I can house back there in my yard that never gets used (previous owner didn't like grass, so cemented the whole thing... *shakes head*).
These were my previous beds, made out of cedar 4x4's for corners, and 2x4's (Lowes tutorial) They are 6x3

They stayed at the rental property as I didn't feel like moving them. They cost me about $30 each in material.
I'm very, very excited to start new work this spring!
