Idea for a garden digging box
At the back of the garden we have an area which as become the "digging pit" - kids always gravitate to that spot to dig in the dirt. The problem is, the soil in our garden has a lot of broken glass in it, so digging is a real safety hazard.
A recent visit to Drumlin Farm revealed a good solution to our problem - the Drumlin Learning Garden features a sturdy raised bed with just plain dirt in it - and a bunch of trowels and old flower pots. Kids gather round there constantly to dig and play - and it's just the right height to have fun.
We're looking into building the same thing in our garden. Stay tuned!
