A weekend project I’ve been meaning to undertake was to create a raised garden for extra vegetable growing space. Right now, our backyard has a medium piece of lawn, which I hate because it uses up water and I can’t eat it. The solution: put in a 4′x8′ raised bed for planting vegetables in. Will [...]
