Vegetable Garden
Take that you little varmints. The bunnies could not get in after we installed these nifty little fences. We just drilled holes in the top of the wood and hammered them in. We used zip ties to keep them together.

Vegetable Garden
Pin It
Last year my neighbor and I decided we wanted to start a vegetable garden together. I had no clue where to begin so I went to the library and researched online. I found that maybe just maybe I could do this. My first step was a plan.
Step 1 Have a plan: We decided to use GrowVeg.com to measure and plan our garden. I highly recomend this site it is well worth the money spent. We were able to make the plan before we bought our wood.

Step 2 Build the boxes: The next step was building our raised beds. We decided on 4 total beds. Each bed was 10 by 4 feet.

Step 3 Lay down cardboard: We used cardboard to kill grass and prevent weeds.

Step 4 fill your boxed: We used mushroom compost and the cheapest top soil we could find.


Here is what it looked like when we were finished.
