Can I build (and plant vegetables in) a raised garden bed near the well for my house?

Inge Mclaurine: Yes, absolutely. I plant my garden in raised beds near my well and it is so convenient for watering too. good luck and enjoy your bounty. My well is 43 feet deep.

Kalyn Proietto: No problem. If you check, you will probably find the well is drilled at least 100 feet deep. Only the parts above ground will be affected by the distance from them for doing maintenance or repair.

Asa Soho: near the wall if the sun is not always covered

Fritz Sisomphou: That might cause some problems with the side of your house. You may need to treat the side of the house that will be coming in contact with the new soil. Maybe some kind of cement or a hard plastic paneling. You definitely want to make sure there is adequate drainage in that bed too. You don't want water sitting up against the side of your house, so be very careful to keep the water draining away from the base of your house. Good luck!

Asa Soho: I live in Florida, on a barrier island, so the! well is probably not more than 30 feet below the surface.
