Henry Asked:
I want to turn a childs sandbox into a vegetable garden tools.It is made of wood. It's about 3 by 3 in size. And about a foot deep. How deep should the dirt be for best results? Oh and since i will be adding new dirt is there anything I should add to it?
Reply:
A foot deep is enough, but the garden plot should be at least one and a half feet high. When adding new dirt you can also add compost for nutrients and coconut coir for soil aeration.

I've also seen a nice FireStorm (Black and Decker) power tool set that includes the Drill/Screwdriver combo. I have that and can't live without it. The chuck snaps on and off with two buttons, revealing a screwdriver underneath.
