I also dropped some moldy hay in the bottom for additional drainage.

Then we cruised on down to our fertilizer factory to grab a few buckets of manure. The dog was pretty excited to be able to run around in a giant pile of horse crap.

We hauled everything up in the back of the back of the Rav-4, we used a mixture of 4 parts manure and 1 part sand (for drainage). One of our other dogs Gypsy was supervising to make sure we were doing everything right.

I also zipped some 1x2 onto the back of an old baby gate to use as a trellis for the peas when those are ready to go in.
