Turning a Deck and Pool Into a Garden

Reusing materials to make a beautiful, productive space

I ’m Lia Noterile in Middletown , New Jersey , which is Zone 7 . I ’m a somewhat new veggie gardener . What start out as my quarantine project is now my new erotic love . My business was closed for three month , which gave us ( my married man , my Logos , and my daughter also helped out ) an chance to build up our new garden . I ’m very lucky my husband like to build me things and is so ready to hand . It all get down out as an quondam deck of cards and above - ground pool ( total eyesore ) . In tearing down the deck , we left the old post that were cemented into the earth and used that as our starting point for our project . We reused all the deck boards and as much of the wood as we could for our project . It ’s so rewarding to grow veggies and such a treat to have new vegetables ! I ’ve grow to get it on the garden so much and design on enjoy it for geezerhood to come .

The raw veggie garden ! What a huge variety from a deck and above - solid ground syndicate , and what a outstanding way to reuse the materials instead of cart them to a wasteyard .
