For now we’ve begun building the first raised bed using the scrap lumber, tweeking the details to make more long term areas after more of the kinks are worked out. This box will be a deep raised bed good for potatoes, carrots and other deep rooted plants. Their will be fencing around the entire box to keep out the area freeloaders (deer, raccoon, etc.) and the back will be higher to grow climbers like beans, peas and cucumber.

See you soon!
