One of our (many) projects this winter was to build a few raised beds in a little fenced in area in the back yard. The reason we wanted the beds fenced in?..... RABBITS. These little rascals won't leave my green beans alone and I am quite tired of it!
Soooooo, I talked my wonderful hubby into putting them altogether for me!
We gathered dead cedar trees from around our property.
The Woodsman cut them down to size and make stakes from smaller branches to hold them in place.
He assembled four 4x8 beds using just the cedar.
And they turned out beautifully!!!
The girls just thought it was fun to play on the tractor.
After building the beds, we then had to fill them. So we drove around the woods in the tractor and collected some good humus dirt (lots of good naturally composted materials). Then we went to the creek and collected lots of sand to add to it as well.
Once we had our good dirt, we also added some peat moss and manure we bought from the store.
These beds are gonna grow some great veggies! Can't wait to get started planting!!!
