When you do gardening it is nice to have designated areas for your plants. Planting on the ground directly, you have to deal with weeds, soil erosion and walkways. I love gardening. But everything that it involves is expensive. I did some research and came across something called Square Foot Gardening. I even bought the book which I will give you the link below if you are interested. A way to grow in small spaces.
I loved the idea. You would make square foot sections out of wood and grow one item in that square. You would create as many as you desire and grow as many items you want . I followed the book to get ideas and know how’s. But i realized that everything that i had to do was expensive. I was not going spend that much money as I didn’t know if I will keep up.
In the end I used my imagination and spent less to get similar results. One of the things I did was that I made vegetable beds my way. I got the wood that is used for fencing which was pretty cheap. I made the squares but then I had to buy the top soil which was also pricey. I continued for sometime and gave it up as it was getting expensive.
This is what I did. Went to Home Depot and got the cheapest wood they had. The wood for fencing. Made the squares and worked like a magic.
The link below is for the kindle version of the book.
