We
appreciate Bob Pochman taking photos for us. The top two rows of photos are by Bob Pochman, the bottom row is by Jack Woolley. Note: of course, my copyright notice below does not apply to Bob Pochman’s photos.
Our photographer had other commitments later in the day, and I did not have time to work and take photos at the same time, during the later afternoon.
The approach to building the 6 grow boxes was as follows:
- one team prepared the site by
- removing the top several inches of soil
- applying 3 inches of 5/8- gravel
- leveling and packing the gravel down
- several teams built the grow boxes simultaneously by:
- building the components—the sides and ends of the boxes
- lining the inside sides and ends with visqueen to reduce leaching of chemicals from the treated wood into the soil
- screwing the components together with the posts
- carrying the nearly completed grow boxes over and placing them on top of the gravel, leveling them in place
- filling each box with fresh topsoil
- adding the bench seats on top of each side of each grow box
