Josh Renaud's weblog detailing the exploits of his family in Ferguson, MO, USA. Starring Yoli, Jadzia, Ludi, Josie, and Joseph Renaud.
Last year my dad helped me build some boxes for raised garden beds. He’s not in town anymore, but his influence lingers.
In April he wrote a blog post about how to build a garbage can composter. I filed that away, since Yoli had wanted to begin composting for a long time. She has always been very good about making the most use of food items.
Yesterday I finally got out the drill and a new green trashcan and got to work. The project was pretty easy, but boy was it hot outside.
Today my dad came over to help me with a project I had hoped to do last year before a certain tornado changed all our plans.
We built a couple of boxes to be used for raised garden beds, out of lumber left over from our tornado repairs.
My always-handy dad also identified some problems with our basement door and proceeded to take it down and help me sort of shave the bottom of it.
It will be a few weeks until we actually use the boxes because we are going to have our yard re-graded and sodded first. So the garden will get a late start.
But it should be better than last year.
