This weekend my brother and sister-in-law were visiting from Chicago. The boys had great plans to smoke some ribs on the grill while Abby and I were going to take the dogs for a "Easter Beg Hunt" to the businesses in the Short North.
There are lots of technicalities to smokin' ribs and therefore they require lots of attention. Sitting in our back yard all afternoon only made us think more and more about our garden. So we decided we could at least get the dirt in the boxes.
Using the recipe from Mel Bartholomew over at The Square Foot Gardener I purchased my dirt. I had to change the recipe just a little bit as they don't sell vermiculite in large bags at my local Lowes. So, I mixed 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 manure/composte, and 1/3 vermiculite and topsoil mix. We had to buy everything in bags and mix the soil in the squares.
The dirt has settled and is now ready to be "squared off" and planted. I can't wait!
