Four 80/20 Xtreme DIY Projects for National Gardening Month
April—that time of year known for its rain and its warmer weather, marking the point on the calendar where the dregs of winter truly give way to springtime. Is it any wonder that the National Gardening Association has declared April to be National Gardening Month? Or, for that matter, has marked April 14th as National Gardening Day?
The last couple of years have seen a significant rise in home gardens, most likely as a response to the COVID pandemic. Some folks are growing their own vegetables while others are simply looking to create a beautiful backyard space for themselves. In honor of all you homegrown horticulturists out there, we thought we’d take this opportunity to call out some of 80/20’s Xtreme DIY gardening projects.
This customizable cart is a rugged (yet lightweight) platform dolly that’s perfect for transporting your gardening tools and equipment back and forth between your garden plot and your garage or storage shed. It’s designed to hold up to 300 pounds, so you can easily schlep bags of soil or mulch in one trip with no heavy lifting. A heavy-duty mesh panel surface makes this cart easy to clean. And it even folds down when not in use to save storage space.
Extend your gardening season with this garden box, a mini greenhouse designed to hold your starters and give you a jumpstart on your planting. The sturdy 80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles and twin-wall polycarbonate panels protect your fragile buds and seedlings from bugs, birds, and other critters while still providing plenty of sunlight. Best of all, the garden box is utterly customizable so you can design and build the perfect structure to fit your gardening space.
