How to make a zillion garden boxes
Locate or purchase 3 5ft long 6in wide boards.
Have hubby, or someone not in charge of a baby, cut one board in half. This leaves you with 2 5ft and 2 2.5ft lengths.
Drill holes into the 2 5ft boards where you’ll be placing your screws. This helps prevent splitting the wood:
Rest one end of the long board on a handy surface…
…you kids’ toy shelf, for instance:
Screw the other end to the shorter 2.5ft board:
Continue until you have a box.
Or several boxes:
Figure out where you will be placing the box:
Rototill to make the ground nice and soft:
Shovel the dirt out of the area you’ll be placing the box:
Remove any obstacles:
Measure again:
Scoop dirt away to sink box down:
Check for level (on all four sides):
Shift the soft dirt in the box out to the sides:
Then rototill within the box to fluff up the dirt some more:
Rototil beside the box to soften the dirt you’ll be shovelling into the box:
Shovel dirt into the box:
…until nice and full:
In summary:
Build, til, dig, til, dig, til, dig, til, dig.
Repeat times 1 zillion.
Amen.
Note: 1 zillion in this case actually equals 116 boxes. But it felt like a zillion.
