Mr. Silva made some suggestions and observations on what we could do to get the most out of his classes, particularly if some of us are committed to the concept of square-foot gardening.
1. Begin building our own boxes.
2. Go to some of the local lumber yards or find a construction sites and see if there's some free wood that they are throwing away.
3. The boxes don’t have to be pretty, they just have to be useful. The usual dimension for a box are 4’ x 4’ x 6” high, but if they find 2x2 or 2x3, it works fine too.
4. Go to local depot type stores or nurseries and see if we can get some wood, weed mat or seeds donated. Stores love to look good for the community.
We all will be better prepared to learn and apply if we take a look at "square-foot gardening" online.
Does anyone read these things? There are hardly any comments.
I think you can also use pallets to make the boxes. In the Free section of KSL classified, often a business is trying to get rid of its pallets.
