This year we decided to expand our garden space by 96 square feet in the form of three new 8×4 garden boxes. I am hoping to grow all the produce we will need this spring and summer and hopefully a good chunk of our winter food too.
Dadzoo fashioned the three boxes using 12×2 boards. To the bottom we stapled thick weed cloth to help keep the grass from growing through.
In each box we mixed peat moss, vermiculite and compost, to make a nice light soil. Each year we will add a little compost, to keep the soil rich, so while this is a little expensive to begin with, it is a one time thing.
Saturday I planted beets and carrots in this box. I love square foot gardening, it is perfect for my little suburban homestead!For more information on square foot gardening go HERE.
Nice blog. Hardwork always pay. Expecting the picture of beets and carrots in this box. Keep on posting.
