One thing always leads to another!
Stuart dug out the compost from the box in
the corner of the garden to add to the plants.
There was a large quantity of good compost and he filled 4 Rubbermaid
containers with the mix as well as adding it to all the rows. After he dug it out, we realized that the
sides of the box were falling apart. We
decided to rebuild it using leftover 2 by 6 deck boards and 2 by 4’s. Stuart constructed the 3 sides separately in the
shop and then we hauled them out to the garden to put it all together. For a door, he stacked boards across the
front so that we can lift them off and dig out what we need from the
bottom. It all needed to be stained
after it was in place and we are pleased with the results.
The old box had a garden stake rack attached to the side that
was very useful and so we planned to replace it with something even
better. When I’ve been working out in
the garden, I often wished I had a small surface to set things on rather than putting
things on the ground. This evolved into
a combination work table and stake rack designed specifically for our
needs. Again, Stuart used leftover
materials and completed the job in a couple of days.
The garden area is becoming more of a “happy
place”—now all I need is a place to sit and watch things grow.
