I tried some halfhearted gardening last year, and it did not go well. I think there were 2 problems. First, I didn’t make a dedicated space for planting, just kind of planted along the side of the house in some areas. Second, the soil around here is full of clay and I didn’t invest in any kind of fertilizer or planting soil.
Fast forward to this past weekend, we were up at White Oak Garden and I saw an Earth Box for sale and thought that might a better way to ease into the gardening thing. But they’re kind of expensive, which goes against my idea of “easing into gardening,” so I started looking for ways to build my own and voila! Of course, ours are pink!
The pantyhose-wrapped tupperware containers filled with dirt go in those 2 holes
Here's the whole thing, minus a lid
Still need to cut holes in the lid, but otherwise ready to roll!
I actually built two of these, one for Lily and another for Ava. We’ll go pick plants this weekend or next and get our green thumb on!
Things are growing well!
