Yesterday I went to a home improvement store looking for some more containers to add to my garden. I got quite a work out cause I must have walked from one end of the store to the other about 6 times. All the pots seemed like too much money to spend on plastic. Then I saw the raised garden beds! I decided that was the way to go, but not cheap at $70-90. I had a stroke of genius - hammer four pieces of wood together and voila garden bed! It just so happened that I had some old wood boards in the yard, so I bought some nails, wood glue, and four small square post that I found in the wood molding section. I used these pieces to create some more stability. See what I'm talking about...
The old wood planks are glued and hammered to the posts. I filled the whole thing up with some organic potting soil and planted 3 different squash plants, 2 bell peppers, and a lettuce patch!
My tomatoes were ready for training so I bought a wire frame trellis. I also bought some little hair clips to use as moveable tomato clips!
Now my tomatoes are training up the trellis but are free to grow as they please!
