Saving on Saturday

I knew that I needed to add something to the front of the square foot garden to complete it. I still had some empty space before it starting to go down the bank.  After watching an episode of “Homestead Rescue” Matt and I decided that we wanted to add to our strawberry beds.

The cost of lumber is currently sky rocketing and I did not want to spend alot on this project.  I also know that strawberries grow well on the ground just not our ground. After much thought and consideration, I decided I wanted to make a strawberry hill.

Of course this involved a trip to Lowes, where I purchased a cedar fence for $27.

I also purchased top soil and garden soil to round out the mix.  Total spent at Lowes was $100. I had previously purchased another roll of landscape paper for $10.  This is the result without strawberries.

I will be moving some strawberry plants in the next several weeks. The goal plant/move 5 or 6 plants which should spread over the summer and fall and hopefully in a year cover the whole area.  Check back for a strawberry plant picture!

 

Total spent on the project $110!   I hope this means the square foot garden is complete!
