This past week, we (my brother and I) dismantled a deck that I had planned to build a lean-to on top of. The project never went anywhere beyond that so I thought I might as well save some money and put all of that wood to use by converting it into a fence to surround the garden beds.
I have always wanted to have a garden right outside my bedroom, but with the dogs that was never possible without some sort of fencing.
The 8-foot weather treated planks of wood were cut into two 4-foot tall pieces, set apart four inches each. It's not pretty, but it works.
At some point, I want to get some dark stain to put on the fencing to give it a more rustic, finished look.
The area needs a lot of work still, but I am just happy to have it in all its muddy glory.
I returned the corner bricks. They looked nice, but future prospects had them costing far too much additional outgoing cash in what is supposed to be a budget garden.
With the first two beds filled and ready to go, planting comes next.
