    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    There ain’t nothing in this world that compares to riding a Tennessee Walker in a running walk going 25 mph , just like sitting in a lounge chair. Smooth as silk. The power feeling from that horse is exhilarating. Seed planting outside will have to wait till End of May here.

It has also worked on the pump pipes that are under pressure to stop leaks. Maybe you can repurpose those older stock tanks to somethin else. A small pond for water...

    Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

    Great to see your progress on your plans for a greenhouse. For greenhouse foundation I used crushed road rocks over a leveled area. When using cinder blocks to layer up short walls I used rebar to stabilize them and keep them from shifting.
