I did my project at a local nursing home across from my high school. I took their garden area and built 4 raised boxes by stacking 4x6s on top of each either four layers high and then capping it off with some 2x6s
this is what it looked like before i started, this was all last late summer/ early fall
i chopped it all down and reused the old landscaping timbers to outline the gravel i was gonna put down, this was a spur of the moment things but it worked great!
then put gravel down
here is a broad pic of all the boxes
here is the box all filled with topsoil, all four of them are filled obviously. I topped it all off with some horse manure but i dont have a pic of that
I had to raise around 700 dollars to do this all, the nursing home had nothing at all in their budget to help. But i knew this before hand, our troop has had several eagle projects done there in the past. And i got the top soil donated so thank the lord for that. I had a lot of help from my friends, fellow scouts, parents especially dad, and lots of other people. Like the 84 manager who gave me a ridiculous deal on all the lumber
well that's pretty much it, hope it was interesting. it was a little longer than i thought but im bored and have nothing else to do
