It's a 1.2 x 1.2m square (approx 4 x 4 feet) and 40cm tall (approx 16 inches). The walls are treated pine sleepers with steel rods holding them in place. We lined the inside with plastic then put in a layer of straw in the bottom before adding a nice compost soil mix.
So far we've planted pak choy, cos lettuce, buttercrunch lettuce, carrots, corn and potatoes.

hey Matt! the drilling etc was probably the hardest part but it was really fun. I took a couple of pics yesterday to show that there's actually stuff growing in there now so i'll get those up soon. you guys got anything in particular in mind that you'd like to grow?
