Part of the original design for our RabbiDome was to create a garden area around the outside of the dome. We built it 30' long to be about 40-45 sq ft. This video demonstrates how we built this garden bed by excavating down about 10", layering several layers of cardboard, then backfilling it with rich garden soil and finally topping it with straw to reduce weeds and keep soil moist.
We decided to go with Malabar Spinach as an edible so we can eat it & provide a lot of vegetation for the rabbits and more importantly it is a fast growing vine that will provide a lot of shade. We will also be adding other shrubs and flowers to the garden area in time as we decide on a balance between elegant and edible plants which is an Agriscaping philosophy.
