Materials

most all recycled. windows and screens,wood,6 mil. plastic,black garden fabric,veggie plants we started from seed in doors most of them

What was your inspiration?

we have had a garden before but never really got much out of them, blight one year, too much rain another, so we started saving wood from different projects he worked on at work and his boss let him bring old stuff home during some demolition,s, he got the windows for free too! he is a carpenter by trade and had a great time making this we are so proud!! it is 11x13,plus we have another garden behind this one with more stuff! I hope to sell some at our local Farmers Market and I do can lots of it too.

What are you most proud of?

it only cost $235! we use recycled stuff as much as possible, we can share with family and friends and I can make my jams and sauces,soup and give them as gifts. Plus we have a 1yr. old Farmers Market up here and I will be able to share there too

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

we kinda over planted this year cause of all the bad luck we have had and so watch what and how many you do plant!! LOL Also recycle as much as you can there are a lot of "free" stuff out there
