Well, the stone has been spread around the bottom of the pool and I have been working on building frames to hold the garden soil. I made two out of pine and one out of cedar - we will see how they hold up. I have started some seeds in the greenhouse as well.

Here I was trying to make sure I had the true South so I could orient my boxes (not sure if this would make ANY difference but I was a fun diversion of sorts). Yeah, I know I'm a geek of sorts.

This is the first box under construction - pretty simple stuff here. 2x6's & 2x4's and some screws.

When it was done I stapled some weed block fabric to the bottom.

Here are all three boxes ready for some garden soil.

I ordered 5 yards of garden soil (and some topsoil to fix the yard) from the same folks that sold me the stone.

Soil is a lot easier to move around. I made this quick shoot to direct the soil to the boxes. I just started but it seems to be working well.
