Budding gardeners

With our backyard landscape, we designed in a raised garden bed. The kids were really excited to help put it together.


Here's the finished product. We purchased this kit from home depot. Overall the kit works well. The planks are a little warped but it should work fine.


Over President's day, we finally got some dirt in our raised garden bed thanks to my coworker who was kind enough to haul a cubic yard of soil for us.

Cole is getting a head start on moving some dirt.


Here you can't see the drip lines that I buried under the soil. Each drip line has an emitter 6" apart and I connected drip lines every 6" across. Each line has a shutoff valve so I can control which areas get water. You can see all the lines that haven't been buried yet in the top half of the bed. Hopefully in a few weeks, we'll have some things growing.
