Hi! Turtle

I never got the chance to thank you for requesting me into your list of friends. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well.

Your friend

Holy Bat nap!!

I get what you mean (and it's a good Idea) but if I were to go ahead with doing any sort of green house I'd want it to be pretty (yeah, yeah... I know... men should never use that particular terminology hardly manly and all). I've got a picture in a book of a really pretty arborium (I think that's what its called) it's all black iron and frosted glass so nice to look at. I chose plexy because it's cheap, easy to work with, durable, and flexible, besides that I have kids and the neighbors have kids so the odds of glass breakage are rather high with the various flying objects (balls etc.). And I chose Iron because it's easy, and fun to work with. (I love working with metal...good thing too seeing as I do it for a living) Another advantage to the plexy is that it's damn near impossible to keep it from frosting (which saves me the effort)

How bazah! I've been trying to think of a way to get sweety to let me build a wrought iron and plexy permanant one I want one sooooooo bad. I have a grand scheme to use a transmission cooler or two as a heat reclaim in the exhaust ducts for our water heater and furnace to heat it through the cold months via recirculating radiator coolant in burried insulated black vinyl plumbing piped to a radiator in the greenhouse. (could even run a watering line inside the heating lines no worries about freezing and no need to manually carry water down to water the plants)

Oh yeah, Apparently my eyeballs are a bit off.
Last weekend I built a fence for my lil garden...It ain't as lil as I thought...it's 16'6"X33' VS. the originaly specified 12X24. I managed to do it on the cheap by using wood latice and 3X1's as well as by tying it into our existing fence (which eliminated the purchase of 32' of materials), it's simple and has a gate that simply lifts out... no hinges no latches (it sits in a pair of channels made by attaching boards perpendicular to the uprights that support the fence) or any of the crap that comes with having a swinging gate. Total cost $60 though I do have to by some more paint to finish it off sadly what paint I had left over from various previous projects wasn't enough.

Unh huhm...confirmed the nasty green thig doesn't like coffee.
Checking on my lil garden this morning...Brok-o-lie - critter free (CF) , 2matoes - CF, cabbage- CF
colly flour, miserable lil fugger! getzen zee auf mina colflours yuh bastard!!!! Cellery - CF
strawberries, Fuggin BIRDS!!!, Blackberries-CF....rasberries CF.

So far a mound of grounds around each plant seems to be an effective deterent to the nasty green thing as he hasn't revisited those plants that have the protective ring...I hate to leave plants open to attack but if I want to be really sure that it is the coffee sacrifices must be made.
So far it looks promising though.

I like coffee!
I like coffee grounds....I Reeeeeeeeeeeeely like coffee grounds!!!
Been dumpin em in daily...
Found a nasty green thing on my Brok-o-lie was tempted to eat um but flickem 'im off instead and surrounded my tasty greens with beans...the lil fugger ain' been back...yeah baby! dats wuht ahm talkin bout...still keepin it real...Nowudahm sayin. (Still strickly organic and doin well)
