Building Raised Beds in
Butterfly Meadow |
 |
The work group cooperated to construct and install four planter
boxes in Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon. To construct the planter
boxes, we measured and cut twelve-foot ChoiceDek outdoor composite
boards into eight- and four-foot sections. In addition, we measured
and cut two- by six-inch pressure-treated wood into ten-inch
sections.
The composite boards were used as the sides of the four-foot by
eight-foot rectangular planter boxes; the ten-inch pressure-treated
sections were used to anchor the corners of said boxes. Everything
was assembled using Grabber Guard Premium Quality Exterior Screws.
The group then proceeded to install the planter boxes, digging into
the ground as necessary to ensure that they were level. To complete
the project, we staked the boxes in place, filled them with soil,
and spread new mulch around the project area."
I would like to thank Lowes (43612 Pacific Commons Blvd., Fremont)
