| First we took two 14x10x2 boards and nailed them to two 4x10x2, making a rectangular shape |
 |
| After the boxes were nailed together, we added biodegradable landscaping plastic. This keeps pesky weeds from coming up through the bottom, and allows for draining of water. |
 |
| Then comes the dirt! |
 |
| At the Horry County Waste Authority, they Sell compost for $20 per ton. And we got a ton! |
 |
| We Filled the boxes with 8 inches of dirt. |
 |
| After all the hard work, it was time to put in the plants! |
 |
 |
| Indian Mustard |
 |
| Snow Cauliflower |
 |
| Boc Choi |
 |
| Rosemary |
 |
| Once the plants are in water thoroughly |
 |
| Deer are a problem in my area so we needed to figure out how to keep them from munching on the veggies. |
 |
| We took flexible 1/2 in PVC pipe and bracketed them to the side in an arch shape. |
 |
| Then we draped plastic netting over the arches and secured the bottom to a screw. |
 |
| The netting can be removed for weeding |
 |
| In the colder months, the arches allow for a sheet or burlap to be draped over the bed to shield from frost. |
