I think she posted it about 3 days ago. <br /><br />I thought I'd visit each of the other 5 and see if they were participating. Here I am, and I must say your blog is lovely!<br /><br />My blog post today is following the 6 game theme, and I hope you'll come by and visit me.<br /><br />Jennifer<br />MaidenShade.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-6113739957587372752009-06-03T19:49:27.337-05:002009-06-03T19:49:27.337-05:00looks like you are really expanding...hope you enj...looks like you are really expanding...hope you enjoy it all.marmeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622899170079254810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-89111300312335729382009-06-03T07:19:34.211-05:002009-06-03T07:19:34.211-05:00When I got my vermiculite for my garden the bigbox...When I got my vermiculite for my garden the bigbox hardware store had it in with the insulation. We actually found out that they used it in our kitchen ceiling when we were tearing out the wallboard. It fell down from holes in the ceiling all while we were working!

Having more space will be so fun and the plans for even more boxes is wonderful. Usually the boxes are no more than four feet so one can reach the center easily. Four by eight is a good size since most lumber comes in eight foot lengths that can be cut in half for the four foot sides. For the vermiculite, perhaps the coop? Our coop has large sizes of everything, a big savings.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-78151119807052563742009-05-20T11:10:28.860-05:002009-05-20T11:10:28.860-05:00The new beds and paths look great.

The orginal owners paid $4,000 for it four years ago. WHAT A BARGAIN!!!! <br /><br />I love your raised beds. I am going to stop back again soon to take some notes once my greenhouse is up because I hope to add some of these to the area I am having the greenhouse installed. I have a bed that is about 40' x 60' to plant with veggies right now so I am looking forward to trying something a little more controlled like your beds. <br /><br />Stop by my blog sometime....

My boxes are all about 3x3 so they're pretty small but it makes reaching in really easy. I wouldn't complain about having a bigger box though! :)<br /><br />I use the same greenhouse that you just got and they're perfect for my little seedlings.
