Panda Academy: Where Teacher is Spelled M-O-M-M-Y

• Mar. 26, 2008 - Gazebo ReDesign

Where did all those 46 concrete blocks that I talked about earlier go? Into the right half of the gazebo pictured below. The space was really awkward to work in and all praises should go to K. for figuring out the block placement of the lower beds. Our goal, aside from creating the higher back beds, was to make sure there was enough steady footing that would allow us to plant, weed, and harvest without damaging any plants. It was great discovering so many fish-bait rescued earthworms still alive and thriving.

The bed against the back wall was increased to a 2 block height which will allow the tomatoes to have a deeper root system and to be better supported by trellises (to built later.) The lower section in front of it will be for herbs. The front back wall bed (near the door which you can't see in the pic) will hold K.'s 8 or so pepper plants. The lower beds in front of that will be for his experiments.




Here's a before picture of the whole gazebo area so you compare the differences. It was just a simple 4 square bed.
