Urban Vegetable Garden

This is my new vegetable garden. Trying to keep it neat an tidy to go along with the rest of the garden we are doing this year. Approx 500s/f. All of is made by recycled wood etc. The bails of straw cost $4.50 each, The plastic sheet for the hooped greenhouse cost $12.00. The compost bins cost $15.00 and another $4.00 for the pots. Everything else was free. So total cost was about $100.

Compost Area.

Trying to waste no space. I have 2 large compost bins, 2 bags of rabbit poop and a steel bin I got from work to make my compost tea in. The skid at the front is filled with compost which I will be growing lettuce. The boards are wide enough to to walk over to reach the compost bin.

Straw Bale Area.
