That's right - my experimental, no-dig garden is done. Or as much as can be done for now. If it is at all successful, I will definitely expand. But here are the pics for my progress:
1. The Foundation (ha ha!)
 |
| The building blocks - literally and figuratively, ha! |
2. Actual "building"! (Or um, you know, assembly, lol)
3. Preparation for Planting
 |
| My holes for drainage - muy importante! |
 |
| Oooo - Colorful! |
And ta da! The Finished Product...
 |
| Okay, so I bought an overpriced Rosemary - Sue me |
 |
| My poor green bean plants - at least the ones that survived. |
 |
| All the squash! |
So I know the squash is way too close together. But I figure that half or more of it won't survive, and then it'll be good to go, right? :D Also, the poor beans... some of them look a little more chipper than they were doing, so keep your fingers crossed there.
And as you see - there is still loads of room on my platform for more tubs of dirt, if I decide I want to plant more stuff.
Brilliant! I'm on my way to my first growing season as a Homesteader Wannabe.
:)
A lot of back-breaking labor went into this. I've got the broken back to prove it.
