Get Growing: Our garden barrel

By Brad & Susan Emery

When we first started gardening, we were in the city. Space was limited and our yard was mostly a tarred driveway and a cement deck, but we had caught the gardening bug, so we were going to have to be somewhat creative.

There was a 55-gallon food-grade barrel in the garage. Could we do something with that? To the internet! So, with a little searching we found ‘The Garden Barrel’ and knew what to do with it. There were just so many things we loved about this that we definitely needed to make a plan and take the time to create this. We found a few YouTube videos and started to study up.
