I have a huge box garden when i first put it in i removed all the grass from the top soil then tilled it all under and added lots of cow poop (i own a
cattle farm so its all free) Then i was able to get a bunch of rail road ties i didn't dig them into the ground i just placed them on top of the
ground there very heavy..
Then i just planted my vegetable garden in this large box ..Then i take plastic coffee cans and cut them in half so they have no bottom and place them
around each plant and dig the cans into the dirt a bit, each time i water i just fill the cans up around each plant then the water slowly drains into
the ground..
When i mow the lawn i keep the grass cuttings and place then all though the garden so the garden box is complete covered with grass clippings and just
keep packing this down i never have weeds come up so its easy and weed free..
Then at the start of each planting season i just till the dead grass into the garden its good mulch..Thats my weed free easy to take care of garden
box and my vegetables are always yummy and grow good..peace,sugarcookie1
