Wow, are you sure you have enough property for yourself?

Isnt treated lumber bad to use for vegetables?

[atcnick]

@meetman3 I've heard that, but I think its debateable. I wouldnt use fresh creosote, but this lumber seems to be fine.

Jjsboo, I left the paths grass but that was a bad idea. The Bermuda and centipede grass is extremely invasive and gets into the beds no matter what. This year I'm going to round-up the paths and maybe spread some peagravel to keep it from getting too muddy.

The layout is really good. I'm just wondering how DEEP you have it? I have a 8x4 and its about a foot deep of dirt. Also pedalite is good to mix into the dirt so the dirt and plant can "breath".

Check out my garden videos.

The top soil here runs fairly deep. But when I worked all my organic material in I only did it to about 8" deep. I know I should go deeper but thats as deep as my tiller goes.

That's not compost . That's wet leaves.

@meetman3 We made our boxes this year wth treated lumbar and the only reason we did, cause I heard the same thing was cause the guy at Lowe's said they no longer use whatever it was that was bad for us to treat the lumber so it is safe now to use for a garden.
