[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2724833, member: 750"] All good points! haha I'm kind of in the same boat but I don't use synthetic fertilzers but mostly because I want to know I can grow without them should the need arise. I've got extra land so I overplant and keep watch on the garden. Some diatomacious earth here, pick a few worms there, even some beer in half buried mason jars works well and I've had good yields. I won't pay for gimmicky organic stuff either. Rooting solution comes from this year's willow whips, etc. Made some terraprata by turning sticks and hardwood cuttings into char to ammend the soil with. Put some small sticks laid in with hardwood scraps and hot manures like chicken waste and it will break the wood down fast into a soil that will hold nutriants like no other. I do want to build a greenhouse a few of my raised beds and I really like your design. I thought about bending arches out of 20ft galvanized sticks and lay them out in a good sized hoop house but your framed structure with the mesh looks really nice. Might try to duplicate but with painted white wood if you don't mind my copying? YOu said you got a kit which is where the metal braces came from? Does look awesome! [/QUOTE]
