For: Garden

Style: Classic, Outdoorsy, Traditional, Eco-Friendly


Materials

8x8x16 cinder blocks, soil, compost, composted manure,vegetable seeds & plants

What was your inspiration?

LOVE growing vegetables! Also needed to be able to make raised beds on a very limited budget.

What are you most proud of?

Utilizing a lot of things that were on hand.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't try to tackle the entire project early in the spring. It's a good idea to build the beds then add soil/compost in the fall so it's ready to plant the following spring.
