Mar. 3, 2008 - Homemade "Earth Boxes"
Today we also made two homemade earth boxes out of Rubbermaid-type tubs. The kids did a lot of the sawing and drilling. It was quite fun, but a lot of work.
Cutting the fill tubes.
Drilling aeration holes in the part that will hold soil above and water beneath.
Drilling holes in the "wicking bucket". This bucket is filled with soil below the water line. It will wick water into the rest of the soil in the box.
Completed, but empty, growing boxes!
