Building the Boxes

Jason got to have the most fun building the boxes. I mainly just handed him tools and nails. Our boxes are 4 feet wide, 12 feet long and 1 foot high. We built four boxes. It's only the two of us, so that should provide plenty of garden goodies.



After we got all four built, we put them in place in the back. Those suckers are heavy! Now we're ready to till the ground beneath to add about 6 inches of tilled soil. Our goal is to have about 15 inches of depth in each bed. With the added topsoil in each box, we should have it covered. Off to rent the tiller.
