SolidWorks Works for Gardens?

Life with SolidWorks

The long weekend away from SolidWorks was nice. Not one line or circle was drawn by yours truly. Instead I actually did some physical work outside. Building a raised bed garden from landscape timbers is both fun and rewarding. My wife and I built our first RBG last year and enjoyed garden fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini, and squash through the summer. If you so some studying on raised bed gardening and its counterpart square foot gardening you will be surprised at the yield of produce you can obtain. So this year I built a RBG for my Mom & Dad.

You may ask, what does this have to do with SolidWorks:
