Hot Tub Garden Layout
I can’t believe all the interest in my “Hot Tub Garden”. The question I got the most was about what I planted so here is the layout and the plants. I will keep posting photos as it grows to show the progress.

Gravel in bottom with some overturned buckets to fill space without all the weight
Gravel finished
Fill dirt
Garden soil and compost
Planted
I haven’t planted a garden in years. I think the last time I tried I ran into two problems: 1) red clay in my yard, and 2) a basset hound that like to dig. But this year I decided to try again but this time I planted a raised garden.
For years I enjoyed a hot tub on my deck but over the last three or four years I never used it. I tried many times to give it away to someone who would enjoy it but no takers and since it is soooo BIG and difficult to move I have “repurposed” it into my raised garden bed.
First Allen drilled a couple of holes in the bottom for drainage. Then I layered gravel. Next some fill dirt, followed by garden soil. Then my plants. Since I have never tried gardening in a small space I am not sure what to expect. I planted several tomatoes, yellow squash and zucchini and several sweet peppers along with basil. In the middle where it will be harder to reach I threw in some zinnia seeds.
Can’t wait now to see what happens.
