Square Foot Garden

This year we are planting a "Square Foot Garden". The idea is that you basically create boxes that are 4 ft wide by however long you want and divide them into square foot sections. I had to dig out the hill a good bit to make the ground flat enough to put the 4 x 8 boxes on it. We made the boxes out of 1 x 8 cedar, added rabbit fencing, and made the "grid" out of mason string. The "soil" is peat moss, compost, and vermiculite by thirds.
