Cement Pad

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Yes, this works well. But if you know someone who can just break down the
cement (without removing it) to increase the drainage, it's even better. 


Now, is there something about cement changing the Ph? I guess with 2 feet of
dirt it may not matter so much.
