Raised garden

I have the best husband, any time I have some sort of crazy project I want done or crazy idea, he does whatever he can to help me make it happen! My chicken  coop was built on my original raised flower bed and with the intention of having plenty of room for chickens and veggies we built it pretty large....but my chickens love the veggies I plant inside there so it has been quite a hassle trying to grow veggies and keep the chickens from eating the plants before harvest time! So I wanted a raised bed for a vegetable garden in my back yard and that was the project we tackled today....

              It takes a lot of soil to fill in a 12X4 space

Got the location mapped out and the supplies ready. I'm so thankful my Husband is handy, he built me the nicest raised bed! 

Of course he had little helpers helping him too! 

He attached a weed proof cloth to the bottom so the remaining grass doesn't cause problems later. 

The kids helped us fill in all the gaps with organic garden soil. 

He placed PVC pipe and fixed them to the sides so we can slide some rebar down into them and put up the bird proof netting. It's ready for planting......Thank you honey for helping me build this project.
