Built a waist high raised bed for my Mom for Mother's Day. I was having trouble finding 1" hemlock nearby so I went with locally milled 1x12 rough sawn pine and built it so the box can be easily replaced when it inevitably breaks down in a few years. All connections on the frame were made by pocket screws and I added stainless steel eyelets around the trellis for connecting twine as needed while still leaving the option to keep the space accessible. Mom is very pleased.
Filled with compost from Lucky Paws Farm in Harrison and nutrients from North Country Organics which can be found at Paris Farmers Union.
