Fun, I swear that I mentioned ordering Mom a raised garden kit, but I cannot find it, just this!
This is the second one I made her. The first rotted and I think had 2x6es.
This has 2x8s, but won't last forever, either.
It just needs to outlast Mom.
My sister has cedar raised garden boxes that are maybe two feet high and that seems much easier to use, but I thought "If two feet are good, what about three?!" and ordered one of these:
It was $140 shipped. I don't have any idea what wood they used, but the whole thing was 33 pounds.
How many plants can you actually grow in a 2x4 planter?
I tried finding the first picture and apparently I didn't share it on Facebook, but I found plenty of people selling cedar garden boxes.
There may have been better deals than the Amazon one of unknown wood, but none of them were local!
Mom says that it isn't deep enough.
I asked if she wanted me to add 6" of cedar.
"No, I will just suffer in silence!"
SFGate says "The root system of a tomato plant might extend to as much as 2 feet deep, but the main portion of the root system lies in the first 12 inches under the soil," so hopefully 18" would be enough?
