~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[sumisu]

Thanks, John. It's pretty solid with rebar in the grey conduit pipes driven into the ground and attached to the sideboards. The wire matting really solidified the structure. Let's see how it holds up in the winter. In retrospect, it might have been build a foot too high.

To make the structure stronger, I will turn the enclosure into a giant raised bed; the planting beds will be along the sides with an aisle in the middle filled with wood chips.

Next week will be mild with four sunny days, so I will work it into shape for spring planting. I will skip Thanksgiving and work in the garden. Someone will bring me turkey later in the day.

You've made great strides on your relatively new garden plus all of the changes to the house were magnificent.

I love the idea of a meadow around the greenhouse area. Yellow Rattle will do the trick. I have an oval of MENTHA SPICATA/SPEARMINT surrounding my rhubarb plant with mushrooms growing inside of it. We definitely need wild areas in our garden areas for the bees.
