Went to our local landfill. They sell landscaping products. The cost for 1 yard of compost is $10. Two of my grandchildren helped me unload the truck load of dirt into my 8x3x2 garden boxes. #gardening #garden #plants
I purchased two yards and filled 1 & 1/2 boxes. Each box was pre filled with old straw to help take up some space so, we would need less dirt. There is A LOT of dirt in there. As time passes and the dirt settles we will need to add more to get it back up to the top. For this year I will plant pumpkins and other vegetables in the boxes because I haven’t yet decided exactly what they will be used for. Perhaps it will be vegetables and herbs every year? Let me know what you’d plant in boxes this large, in the comments below.
