Footprint 33: Painting the Square Foot Gardens: Waterproofing 101

Yesterday was sunny.  So I put on the first coat of bitumen:  
Boxes with first bitumen coat
 I am using a bitumen that is used for koi ponds, and which cannot poison the plants growing in the boxes.  There is a 2 - 3 hour delay between this coat and the next coat.  Today it is raining, so coat 2 will have to wait for better weather.  At least with the first coat, the wood will have some protection from the rain.
