My new SFG, come look!
Just finished my first SFG and I thought I would share a few pictures of the process and finished product. Total cost $415 (plants, lumber, soil, gravel, some tools). I figure I could have shaved a good $50 off that if I had bought the soil in bulk.
Here we go!
Initially the boulders were centered. This being a solo project I dug a 1" deep trench in the directed I wanted to roll the boulders and went to town. Thought about fully removing them but I'm glad I didn't!
4x6 12" deep box built (redwood) and filled with a Kellog's mixture
Alternate angle
The bucket in the background is covering a pesky sprinkler head.
Decided to build another box (2x6) with a lattice for beans/cucumber. Half cubic yard of gravel for a 2"-3" deep covering..very nice on the feet :)
Close up of the 2x6. Beans, Cucumber, radishes, green onion, carrots
The 4x6. Sweet 100 tomatoes, peppers (ortega, bell, jalapeno), romaine/mixed lettuce, rosemary, basil, kale, 2x watermelon. With squares to spare!
The overall scheme of things.
Bonus box with early girls
Thanks!
