Jodi's Garden

Jodi heard through the grape vine that I love to build gardens. Then she asked me to build her three 4x4 raised gardens. I built them by up-cycling pallets. She wanted the rustic look. I filled her raised garden with a method called sheet composting AKA lasagna gardening. Layers of organic material!
  After Jodi started to learn how the layering worked, and how all this material will create new soil after 2 months, She was inspired to start composting, So I built her a composter.
3 months later. Jodi updated me on her tomatoes. OMG! the tomatoes went crazy huge. The layers in this bed are sea weed, wood chips, aged compost. Looks like the tomatoes like it. LOL!
My most recent update from Jodi is the zucchini! The zucchini are HUGE but tender and sweet when you eat it. She is so thrilled to have this beautiful, bountiful food to grace her table. She measured to show me how large they really are. 17" inches long!
