I agree they are beautiful and why I am going to inquire with the manufacturer. What I was told makes no sense.

I can see the point of never rotting etc. I guess the point he was making about warping is that unless you build with wood a support base to attach the trex it will bend and warp and not hold shape when used in planters. Especially any length. Cost wise you are using wood to substain the...

Sewingdiva?? I just spoke to our local lumber dealer and he told me that using the Trex is not a good idea. I am so bummed and not yet believing his theory. He said that it should not come into contact with the gorund first, second that in very hot temps, it is likely to warp. My question...

Thank you so much. I have to ask this though. Why two feet. Do you need that much? I keep reading where you can plant in as little as six inches. which seems way too little even for my novie opinion. I was going to go 12 inch boxes. Any reason I should or need to go deeper? Again thank you...

Hi Paul, As you might of read I am completly new to this. My dirt is awful, decomposed graite really. So I guess I will need to use the beds. Do the beds do better with no bottom? I will line with hardware cloth to keep the gophers and moles out. I just wonder if a wooden bottom or deck...

Absolutely Beautiful. How deep are your beds? How wide? Can you please give me some ideas of what grows well with what. I have never gardened and making some boxes and going to give it a try. I went to your site and see that you are a seed grower as well. I am so impressed. I am in...

Hi not sure what you meant by too hard to dig? I am not using our ground soil only because where the garden is going to be, the ground had all the top soild removed and cut by a dozer a few years ago and what is left there is not worth trying to plant in, very rocky underneath and decomposed...

The reason I am going with 12 inch boxes is so I do not need to put in a bottom. I will line it with wire on the bottom to keep out the moles and gofhers. Great drainage and hopefully the ground under will eventually loosen up. ;) I have decided to put in more planters and go much smaller than...

Hi, When using a rotating compost barrel, what is the best way to get it going. Do I just start dumping coffee grounds and lawn clippings in? Is there any method of starting one off on the right turn so to speak. Dilly Girl

Thank you :)

Hi, I need help -- Going to the lumber yard and need to know how high the planter boxes should be? Is 12 inches sufficient or should I go higher? The soil under this is not at all that great so I need to depend on the filler for plant frowth. Thanks so very much. Dilly Girl

BUMP BUMP BUMPITY BUMP. :D

I went and searched found my answer. Since we have acres of trees and leaves, they say the best place for the leaves is on the ground around the trees to protect them from weeds and other things not good for the oaks. I spent a few hours raking this half acre area in gorgeous oaks and VERY...

Not a problem. :)

Can I safely mulch with oak leaves, these are the tiny live oak not the big pretty oak leaves? I have an area where they are a foot deep and under are dark and clumpy. Can I put that on trees and tomato plants safely? Dilly

I have just planted half a dozen drawf and simi drawf citrus trees in half barrels. And will be doing the same with fruit in the next couple weeks. This is my first time attempting to grow in barrels. Anyone else do this, if so how is it working out for you?:cool: Thanks Dilly

Hi everyone. I want to compost my coop litter which will be pine shavings and DE. Should I put the compost pile in shade or sun? Is there anything I should add to this mixture to help composting? Does this need to be covered? Can I just toss in coffee grounds, old veggies etc as well...
