Raised Mini Vegetable Garden
Fun project for a amateur
After my beautiful girlfriend requested a small area in the garden to experiment with growing veggies I decided to build a raised patch. Reason being we have a very inquisitive pup.
What you will need
Some scrap wood. Enough to accommodate your design
Fasteners of your choosing
Tools to shape wood
How to do this project
1
Identified a area where I would like to place the garden and based my measurements on that.
2
Got some scrap wood. And cut to size based on my rough sketch. Practising my mitre cuts on the front and side planks that would make up the box.
3
Ran over the wood with a cheapie belt sander.
4
Started asembly. I used coach screws to assemble the box.
5
Installed a base using spaced planks and steel wire mesh (Unfortunately no pics) and lined the inside with plastic
6
Figured I'd put a frame around the top to clamp down the plastic and give a more appealing look. So cut them to size and sanded quickly
7
Installed frame using nails and screws
8
Now just wait for the girlfriend to plant what she wants. Looks like she's going for cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers
