Today were going to make a small raised bed or this could also be considered a container garden. I found these pieces of wood when I picked up my pallets. There were 12 pieces all equal in size.
I simply nailed the sides together.
Then I added some well composted soil. Next...
For this container I planted Swiss Chard seeds. Swiss chard is a grows best in cool weather..
Some things are just ridiculously expensive. You can save money if you just take a little time to think things out and use a little ingenuity. Sometimes I'll just browse around hardware stores, looking at supplies - but with an eye to use it for something else. You know those really cheap plastic blinds you see in places like Family Dollar or Walmart? Well I purchased a set (the longest in length) and I cut them into the sizes I wanted. They make great gardening labels.
