Rising food costs are causing more families to start their own vegetable gardens at home. “We’re selling a lot more seeds for vegetables. We’re selling a lot more plants and more people are asking, ‘How do I make my plants grow in a garden?’” said Kent Maughan with the Soil Service Garden Center on Troost Avenue.

At the back of our lot is a large retaining wall that is made of creosote rail ties. This location is also the best site for a vegetable garden. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the railway ties so we need to work around them. Our plan is to build the garden two feet out from the wall and seperate it with an impermeable cloth of some sort. Does anyone have any further suggestions or recommendations for working around this problem?
