Ten more raised beds waiting for dry ground

We built ten more raised beds over the weekend out of untreated wood- five 4 by 8 footers and five 4 by 6 footers.

The materials needed for one 4 by 8 foot bed:

• Six 8-foot-long 2-by-6s
• 32 inches of 4-by-4
• 2.5 inch and 3 inch screws

 We pre-drilled the holes and set the screws to make assembly faster.We made the 4-by-4s into "stakes" so that they will be easier to drive into the ground.

The ground is too wet yet to carry the beds out back with the bobcat, so we will wait a couple weeks to finish the expansion of the kitchen garden.
