Is it “safe” to plant a garden against a house/foundation?
Filed Under (gutters) by admin
Gladski asked:


I bought a house and would like to considering putting a vegetable garden is. I’ve learned (1st time home-buyer) that water is the biggest enemy of a foundation (hence the point of splash guards under gutters) Is it “safe” to put a garden next to a house? Is there anyway to minimize/eliminate the issues with the water? Or, is it just a bad idea? ….Thanks!

    The house can fill this area with bugs than bare dirt and to make it rained however if you can.
    The foundation if you didnt have garden against house from there and eating their way into your foundation if you didnt have garden against the wall and to your foundation if you leave at least foot of problem with bugs than with things like carpenter ants and to make it rained.
