    Shop Tip


    Small-part routing safety

    A wooden handscrew clamp serves as a safe “extension” of your hands, gripping the small part firmly while sitting flat on the table surface as you rout its edges.

    Square foot gardening

    Your editor is building some square foot Gardening boxes.

    There is some woodworking involved

    Additional information available at:

    Mel Bartholomew | Founder of Square Foot Gardening

    www.melbartholomew.com

     

    Square foot gardening is the practice of dividing the growing area into small square sections (typically 12" on a side, hence the name). The aim is to assist the planning and creating of small but intensively planted vegetable gardens. It results in a simple and orderly gardening system; from which it draws much of its appeal.

      

    The Box – build a frame from any non-treated, 6-inch-wide lumber – or other similar material. When you place the box on the ground be sure to first put down weed mat or landscape fabric to prevent weeds from growing into your garden.

    Best Size – 4×4 box, but be creative. As long as you don’t make your frame wider than 4 feet, you can design your own look.

    Fill boxes as listed below, do not use any soil.

    1/3 Coarse Grade Vermiculite
    1/3 Peat Moss
    1/3 Blended Compost

     

    Work safely and don’t take unnecessary chances with your woodworking tools
