Adapt It If you have an odd-shaped area, build your own growing box to suit your space. Be aware, though, that a container wider than 4 feet makes harvesting the middle of the garden difficult. This is especially true for small children. Tip: Put landscape fabric--available at garden centers--under the bed prior to filling it with soil. This porous material prevents weeds and grass from pushing up through the garden but allows moisture to pass through.
