I’ve been keeping a keen eye on the local freecycling list at Yahoo for materials I can recycle in the garden. As my budget for building the hardware needed to setup a specifically square foot garden is extremely limited, I need to use reclaimed materials as much as possible. I’m hoping the only costs would be for soil improvement since there’s no way i could afford to pay for enough compost, vemiculite and peat moss plus organic fertilisers if/when needed to fill -every- box in both garden plots. The things I expect to buy are some amount of compost, an amount of peat moss, soaker hoses and a timer or two. (I think i need minimum 150′ of hose). I still have some math to do to see how much I can get away with. also a rototiller needs to be rented to get the camrose plot into workable shape after lying fallow for 6 years. the rest of the vertical supports I hope to scavenge from somewhere or other.
