Welcome I know this is a great place to find information on everything. I think one thing you need to consider is pest. Many of us have raised beds with wire to avoid gophers varmits etc... Once you decide that you will have a launching point. Then it's just a matter of compost, water and...
Thanks Pat, I don't have horses and this is my first time with horse poop. I was just a bit surprised when I saw it. And yes it does look like an ear.
Is it a problem for the hens? Should I through it away in a trash can?
I saw one once where they used a plastic trash can. Same layering method, straw etc.. But they had cut a flap like door on the lower side of the can. When you needed potato you opened the flap and helped yourself. This worked great so you did not have to disturb the plant itself. The only...
I went out today to turn the horse manure that is in my raised beds. It's been in since mid summer composting with no problems. But today I turned up some strange looking fungus things. We did have our only rain this winter about two weeks ago. The boxes don't seem overly wet. Not sure if...
I actually do live near Beavis. I am a bit closer to the coast and about an hour north. I think.
Anyways, I planted about every seed I had. Just to see what would happen.. Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beans, lettuce and a couple other things.
I have never had any luck with planting...
It was warm and sunny here in So Cal. A perfect day to be outside. I got up around 5:30and started my day with coffee and e mail. Went through the usual routine. Breakfast for the kids, make beds, do laundry, dishes etc.. Got the kids to school returned for another cup of joe and some SS...
I enclosed my little greenhouse/ cold fame with plastic today. I moved my seedlings out there and planted several more.
Not to sound too lame oar anything but I have never sprouted seeds early. What do I do with them now? Do I just let them grow for a while then move them to the yard...
I feel your pain. I actually have been out in the yard most of the morning just looking for anything to do. I think its is warm enough to maybe even put some seeds directly in the ground. Knowing our luck it will be a horrid March. Uggg!!!
I did have an ulterior motive for building this design. Back yard chickens are big around here and I was hoping to have this be our rough draft and then sell a couple more. My buyer fell through this morning. Well maybe when it's done I'll take some pictures and post it on craigs list...
Wow I though I had a busy day. You did an amazing job on that. Looky at what we built today. It's the fort Knox of rabbit hutches. You know I don't have a fence. I wanted to buy one but the shipping was more than the cost of wood. I can't wait for a bunny, and all it's poop. :D
Hops huh? You making beer? I saw hops growing in Southern Bavaria once. Did not know enough to pay attention. I was very young.
Yeah the weather is a bummer here as well. I was hoping to get the plastic o my cold frame.
Those look great and so close to the greenhouse. :D Beavis, is that lagre trellis in the backgrond made of cattle panels as well? I love the height.
You know that's one thing about watching everyone here as there gardens progress, it really get me moving. I love trying to keep up with you...
Oh, thank yo so much for the pictures. Heat was the main problem in my last little green house. I figured I can staple directly to the pallets. Maybe just wrap in like a big present. Then maybe just fold on duct tape over the edge that runs along the pvc. Not sure about a door. Like you...
