Square Foot Gardening: Filling the boxes

This is the fourth entry of five in Karen’s Square Foot Garden Mini Series

Son Ed and I mixed the soil for two boxes at a time. We loaded equal parts vermiculite, baled peat moss and compost onto a large tarp, picked up the corners and slid the ingredients until they were combined. This stuff is really heavy.

The day after my helpers went home, I filled the boxes and nailed 4-foot stakes across the boxes to form the planting grid. (Cue the Wonder Woman music.)
