The bed walls are cedar boards, milled from trees that were being cleared locally. In fact, almost everything in our garden was free, found or repurposed. Our ability to source and store free materials locally was key to pulling this off. We never would have been able to afford the materials had we had to buy them from a garden center. So there's a lot of privilege tied up in this garden (not to mention to cost of buying a house & yard--even one covered in bamboo--in this town).
@DrTCombs It’s definitely a better use of land than a thicket of bamboo!
@Kyleric a million times better!
It may not be the highest and best use of in-town land, but it's the best use we're legally allowed. So for now, we garden. And we eat and share amazing produce, listen to birds, watch delirously happy bees, get dirty, take notes, and keep the tv off. It keeps us out of trouble, and that's not nothing.
