(DO IT YOURSELF!)
Project: Build a Patio Box
This project has been brought to you by: Goellner, member of eHow.com Things You'll Need:
1. scrap wood
2. scrap screws
3. some left over paints from friends
4. some free soil
5. saw to cut the wood
What To Do:
The first thing to do is to gather the supplies. I got my free scrap wood from a construction site down the street from me. I simply asked to dig around in the scrap pile
Next I asked the same construction workers if they had about 20 screws to spare and they gladly hand ed me about 30. I asked to use their power screw driver, and quickly build the box right in from of them. All for free with no tools of my own. They thought this was a fun thing to see.
I took it home with me and found some left over paints that I had used with the kids. They helped paint the garden box and used their finger prints to create the watermelon look. Still all for free.
Then I went out to a nice spot in forest with lots of free compost under some trees, I filled up a trash bag with some of this compost and mixed it with some soil from my yard. Free organic gardening soil. I planted a few seeds and I had a beautiful garden in about a week, eating the veggies in about 60 days.
