 Garden Beds:

No1: import your help. Irish and Scottish workers are the best for putting in garden beds.

No2: Pay them in beer.

No3: Get all your supplies: reclaimed wood from friend’s remodel, screws, chicken wire, and (8) 4x4 x 1.5 posts.

No4: Cut your boards to the lengths you need. I decided to make 2x3 foot beds. This makes some nice and easy boxes to use. They don’t seem too big, but large enough. They are super easy to weed, and not kill your back.

No5: Make sure to give your workers cold beer then begin the project.

No6: Remember to have fun. And to charge all batteries for screw gun and saw.

I had some extra soil from an old raised bed I was tearing down, so I had soil ready to use. If you don’t have this luxury you will have to go purchase soil to fill the garden beds.

*A special thanks to Emer and Andrew and all your hard work on your visit. Cheers!!
