Garden is now "Flint" proof



I was finally able to collect enough materials to "Flint-proof" the garden. The little tard has been smashing down the freshly tilled and plowed soil, and was surely devising a plan to dig a doggy trench in the middle of the garden.


The fencing doesn't look too pretty, but every single board, post, screw, and fence was donated or recycled. It took a while to piece together all of the materials, and to repair the fencing, but thanks to the "t-posts" from Chris I was able to finish it up. That only thing I still need to do is find a couple of heavy duty hinges to fasten the gate.

Total cost of project : $20 (had to buy a small sledge hammer to set posts, but I needed one anyways)










Next step, get ahold of some seeds/seedlings and get this baby growing!



Special thanks to:

Dad (for all the advice)
Chris (for the "t-posts")
City of Independence (for the free woods chips, which hopefully show up soon)

  1. How do you get wood chips through the city?

  2. If you call Jim Martin @ 816-325-7557 he will setup a delivery of free wood chips. Asplundh works for the city, and they offer free wood chips for Independence residents. You will just tell him your address and where to drop them.

    Ben, a friend of mine, let me in on the little secret.
