Do you like fresh vegetables?

Why not save energy and money by growing your own.

It's easy peasy; start growing food within the hour in raised beds using old scaffold planks.

In the foreground is the bed I made 5 months ago.

In the background is the woodchipped patch of ground I'm going to use for the next bed.

Using these old scaffold planks I'm simply creating the four walls of the bed.

The water butt, rain barrel, etc, not only saves you water, but makes sure it is in a nice temperature. Here in Canada water coming from the pipes is really cold. The one time I was watering MY tomatoes with a hose, my neighbour Tony, (you guessed: An Italian guy) almost kicked my buttocks. Lesson learnt! Cheers!

Best to screw the boards on - pressure of the soil will push the ends out (having done this myself, I speak with experience!) Well done for using all available space.
