So last year I decided to make a garden box for the wife. I got an idea from another website that used cedar fence pickets. So I set out to make one. It currently houses our tomato plants that are growing at incredible rates! Anyway, so I know it is a little late, but Southern Louisiana has a REALLY long growing season for spring and summer vegetables. I wanted to detail this and but in a thread to show that a person with limited abilities (thats me) with limited tools (hum
sounds familiar) can throw together in a relatively short amount of time a decent looking garden box that wont break the bank. The cheap kits they sell in the store, which are not that cheap, cost about $40.00 or more. Depending on the materials you use and what you have laying around, you can make this box for a third or half as much. I already had some of my materials so my cost for this project was about $20.00. That is because I went with cedar pickets instead of pine. If I would have gone with pine, then it would have cost me only about $10.00.
What do I need?
I can only post so many pictures so I need to do this in several posts...please stand by.
