Update on raised bed
Well, I got the bed part done. Now all thats left is to fill it with soil, plants the berries and put up the chicken wire. Hope Saturday is a nice day so I can get it done! Ok, got pics added. When I was about halfway through, I realized I made a mistake and used a 5' board where a 4' board should have gone, so I wound up 1' short on one side of the bed and 18" short on the other side...so back to Home Depot for more lumber. I also bought some lumber straps to attach the boards together side to side. I also bought some deck screws (did I mention that in my other post?), which worked WAY better than the regular wood screws! After I got it together, I threw in a few bags of Moo-nure (brand of compost we sell ;) ) I had in the shed. Gotta buy more though. And mulch. Probably gonna use cypress, its about $2.75 for 2CF.
