We have some 2x6 boards given to us recently. they had been stored under a shed for who knows how long.DFWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345712839702427280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-82854982657173186122013-05-30T05:51:33.603-07:002013-05-30T05:51:33.603-07:00Hey, DFW

I also cut 1 ft long corner posts that are 2 X 2.<br />After I cut them to size, I screw the corner post to the ends with 3" construction screws and attach the sides with 2 4" 5/8 threaded bolts that go through the sides and into the corner posts. The corner posts are 1 ft long so that if I want, I can add another board to make the bed deeper.<br />Then I fill the box with a mixture of top soil, potting soil, compost and worm casts! Couldn't be simpler. I hope to have this whole area covered with raised beds some day!<br />Hope this helps!<br />TomTom Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617525385016644041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-6683930630659262462013-05-29T16:17:49.911-07:002013-05-29T16:17:49.911-07:00Hey Tom,

I did get a tire stack planted with 1 sweet potato in and I want to get a couple flowering plants in for color.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br />TomTom Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617525385016644041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034868438345160659.post-11666634186140021802013-05-29T09:26:18.871-07:002013-05-29T09:26:18.871-07:00Tom,

Did you know, you could just take the peels from potatoes you've peeled for cooking and plant just the eyes upside down in the dirt for your potato seeds? It works, I've done it.<br /><br />The wood boxes you made for Terry's porch are beautiful. I bet she enjoys them totally :-)<br /><br />The shed is fabulous too!!!Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.com
