Square Foot Garden - now with stuff in it...
Couldn't decide on whether to put this here or in TGO.
Anyway, last night I finished up the 4'x4' SFG off our patio. I'm gonna have to put a trellis up on the North (grill) side for some beans, and I'll put up a pic this weekend after I get it done.
We'll be planting this weekend...
Romaine Lettuce
Butterhead Lettuce
Iceberg Lettuce
White Onion
Sweet Corn
Snow Pea (Oregon Sugar)
Pole Bean
The sides are 1"x6" 8' Cedar fence boards, with the dividers made out of 4' lathing strips.
The soil is a variation on Mel's Mix using a vermiculite & peat combination mixed with cow manure compost in a mostly even ratio. All the dirt goodies were purchased at Glenns Valley Feed 'n Seed.
After cleaning out the old flower bed that was mostly decomposed mulch, we covered the whole thing with weed fabric and set down red lava rock. I've got a few more weeds to remove, but the trees are staying.
I'll have pics later of the trellis and after we get some green stuff showing in the dirt.
5/27 update:
