I am not going to take any credit for building the actual box, except for all the nagging so that it would finally get done. Dane built my veggie planter after looking at simple examples like
this. Now once he built the frame- I will take the credit from there! At the gardening store I bought some landscaping fabric which is just really thin plastic with a bunch of holes so that water can drain through. Oh I forgot, I did make Dane go to the other side of the island to pick up bags of rocks on the side of the road... thanks Baby! It is so helpful to have someone strong to manhandle 3 huge bags of rocks!
On Oahu there is this awesome place called
Hawaii Earth Products and they sell this great composted soil they call "Menehune Magic." They sell it by the cubic yard, which is a lot! We only got a half cubic yard and it filled this planter and then some.
After that I was able to do my favorite part, shop for plants!
