Building raised veggie beds?
I need websites or advice on building and planting my veggie beds. I would like three rows of corn (outside the bed), pull beans, zuchini, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. I will only have one to two plants for each. I need to figure out how much room I need to provide. Thanks!

both sweetpea and claudia mentioned square foot gardening. This is EXCELLENT if you have limited space!!! I have built a bed like this before for a friend and it was the easiest and most efficient use of space of any garden I have ever worked on.
also, you will need less room for things like cucumbers and zucchini if you provide a trellis for them to climb on.

Agree with all of the answers.
Zuchini will grow happily in a 10 gallon container.
You'll want at least 4 rows of corn to ensure pollination.
If you want tomatoes all season choose indeterminant. Determinant tomatoes set and bear fruit once.

you plant them (other than the carrots) 3 feet apart in full sun. The carrots you can plant about 8 inches apart.. I've been growing most of those veggies for many years.

You can get his book at the library (USA). Not sure about any place else.
