before & after: sq. ft. garden boxes
before & after: sq. ft. garden boxes, originally uploaded by kidmissile.
I put together our square foot gardening raised beds this evening. Total cost of supplies for the boxes was about $12.
I added a bunch of compost from our personal pile; we probably don't need to do the raised bed soil mix that they recommend, since the soil in our plot was prepped from last year. Re-tilling the small sections was no problem.
All that dirt you see on the right is the footprint of the old plot. Since we'll have a 24'x12' plot in the Community Garden at the State Fairgrounds this year, we decided to scale back the home operation and reclaim some of the yard for lounge space. =)
