Update on raised bed




Category: Garden Plans | Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 11:48 pm

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.

I'm sure you're pleased that the biggest part of the job is over and done with. I'll look forward to seeing your photographs Jen.

That's going to look great when finished Bip (already looking good). Looking forward to updates.
