garden box
October 28, 2008
We finally finished our garden box. We decided to try Adina’s garden lasagna using the hay, compost layers. She has details on her blog Manure Depot. We did staple some extra screen we had laying around on the bottom to minimize erosion of the good soil. We then made sure we put it in a sunny area and started to put the layers in. I must say it is much lighter and you don’t have to use so much dirt. We can easily move it if need be.
I decided to plant a variety of seeds in this box to start. I have some cilantro, recao, thyme, oregano, scallions, and a small row of mixed italian lettuces. Let’s see what happens.

Hey, cool box, thanks for the honorable mention. My boxes are cranking along nicely now that it quit raining. I did find that the soil level slips down quite a bit as the hay and straw compress so it is good to really pack it to the top.
