We built our first square foot garden last month! You can do a quick google search to find out more about square foot gardening.
Go to THIS LINK and check out the photos and try to build your own!
You can build them out of anything really, I've been looking for scrap plywood now and just cut it up instead of buying 1x6s again.
Today was cool! I decided to buy some 16-2 lamp cord to drop a light in my room that would run off my inverter. Luckily I work for Lowe's and got a great deal. 1000 feet of 16-2 lamp cord for 40 bucks! That's enough to wire every overhead light in my house.
To test it, I also bought a plastic overhead single bulb fixture and an outlet connector. I drilled the holes, ran the wire and wired it all up and so far it works fine. I'm only going to leave it on while I am actually at home until I can feel comfortable knowing it will not burn my house down. It is not grounded but neither are most lamps and I think the inverter would stop any craziness.
