Materials Handling

We’ve had a few questions about what we’re using to build these and how sturdy they are. Well, they’re quite sturdy (and not overly heavy). You can make them in any shape/combination that you’d like. For our purposes, two deep fits in most places up against houses, walls, etc. We followed, for the most part, the instructions in the All New Square Foot Gardening $11.99  http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Square-Foot-Gardening/dp/1591862027/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1240860392&sr=8-1

 

Herb Garden

Last weekend Daniel and I found our new favorite place, Summerwinds Nursery. We purchased several herbs and got the supplies for our raised bed.  We are planning on heading back next weekend to get the plants to start our vegetable garden.  I planted garlic chives, onion chives, flat leaf parsley, sweet basil, lemon balm, and lavendar.  Here is our herb garden after I finished planting everything:

Raised SFG (Square Foot Garden) bed finished!

While Crystal was at work, I finished the first (of many) raised garden bed(s). Took awhile to get it together and about another hour or so router-ing and sanding the edges off, but I think it will serve our purposes well. 

They’ll most likely look better as I make more. Here’s a picture:
