Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Idea came from some friends out here so I can't take all the credit. We created a good method to make the template and quickly set it up to work nicely for us. Glad you enjoy the idea.

On the Harborfreight site the cutting tool are called Shears.. They have 3 different kinds. Air and 2 electric types. They are super nice for vinyl/metal siding on houses for the long cuts. They really save on the forearms.

I also think when my friends made their templates they used a table saw with the blade not sticking up so much to cut. You might try that way as well. I really like tools. :)

My daughter and I created the youtube videos for creating and using the template with some instructions as well. The files are pretty big though.. I hope they help some out.
