Step 2Playing With Wood
You'll need to cut your wood. We had lots of innuendo in this project, it started here with the getting of the...well, you get it. We needed two 2' cuts and two 4' cuts per box. Plus we were making 1'x1' extenders to grow potatoes in.
The theory is, start the potato plant on the same level as all the other plants and as the sprouts break the dirt level, keep adding more dirt in the extended. So instead of only having 6" of growing room, an additional extender increases the space by 6" and with two additional, we'll have 18" of dirt for the potatoes to grow through.
So in total we had two 2'x4' garden boxes and 4 1'x1' extenders, for a total of the following cuts of wood:
Four 2' pieces
Four 4' pieces
16 1' pieces
