A Web Garden Box is something completely different.  Actually, this is manual labor - something I really enjoy - especially after sitting in front of a computer all day.  I took Monday and Tuesday off last week and got to projects around the house.  One of my projects was to build a box around the garden area.  Long have I wanted to to this, but I finally took it upon myself to actually get it done.

I went out and purchased a flat-bed trailer ('cause I sick and tired of leaning on my brothers to help me haul wood), hitched it up to my SUV (had to put a hitch on it first), and hauled home the redwood, cement, and stuff.  I then set out to assemble it.  Granted this was an extremely easy thing to design and build, but I revel in it, and had a great time doing it.

All in all I'm pleased with the result.  There're just a few more things to do.  I'm going to seal it this weekend and line the interior with some plastic or landscaping cloth.  Also, as you can see from the image that I subdivided the garden into three areas.  I'm going to run some PVC all the way across and T off of it in each box and run some perforated tubing through each section individually.  I'm also going to take the router and do a 1/2” round over on the lip that goes around the box just for esthetics.
