Urban Asphalt Organic Garden

Constructing "green space" as well as an organic vegetable garden on asphalt for an Atlanta-based Community Outreach Non-profit organization.

Step 1 Building the Concrete Garden Box

Step 1.  Select a spot that gets lots of daily sun.  Build out a garden box using concrete blocks 4 X 12 X 14 (on sale here in GA for 25 cents apiece!).  We used approximately 80 blocks for a raised bed garden measuring: 16 in. H x 3 ft L x 9 ft W.

Proyects like yours are very important!
You show people how to be a little bit more independent from the big companies.
Good work!

nicely done!

I like the idea that the structure can be moved in the future.
Extreme no-digging gardening!!!
