Chillin' In The Garden
Hi all,
Last May I tore a cartilage in my left knee. I decided to get a cortisone shot over surgery and Ive been babying my knee since. Because of my knee, DH and I are thinking about building a waist high garden bed or 2. (If I tear my cartilage again, Ill be back to wearing my leg brace. I'm not in any pain but it still 'catches' every once in a while.) Its going to be around 4 wide x 6 long. Im trying to figure out what kind of bottom to build it with. I looked into heavy duty tubs but the only ones that are deep enough (around 15) are way too expensive. Because the legs are going to be made from a 4 x 4 we have, its going to be heavy so we would like to try and keep it as light as possible but Im wondering if thats going to be possible. Any suggestions on what to use for the bottom? Or if you were thinking about building one, how would you build it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
