Hey! Thanks for asking about the garden project. I finally got the raised beds set up last weekend and planted some tomatoes and peppers. The soil mix I used was three parts compost to one part vermiculite, which seems to be working really well so far. I also added a drip irrigation system on a timer so I do not have to worry about watering every day. The seedlings are already showing new growth after just a week. I am planning to add some basil and rosemary along the edges once the weather stabilizes a bit more. Let me know if you want me to send you the link for the timer I bought - it was surprisingly easy to set up. I think you would really enjoy having one too. The whole project took me about two weekends from start to finish, and the total cost was much less than I expected. I found most of the materials at the local hardware store and they even delivered the soil for free. The best part is waking up and seeing the little green sprouts each morning.
