having 8 yards of soil delivered wed, going with a good quality local soil and some high quality compost
Have fun with that 8 yards of dirt, I just did a 7 yard dump of topsoil with the 50% Pete mix and then the work started adding blood meal, bonemeal, greensand, 0 0 50,Vermiculite, manure and compost. Finished product was about 11 or 12 yards turned it all by hand it was a lot of work took three weeks to finish.

yea everything about this is going to be a ton of work. Been debating dropping down to a half time student over the summer/fall to free up time.

so, gotta do one quick assignment, then riding out to the new place and setting the first greenhouse up. I am planning on mowing really close to the ground, then spraying the ground for the floor with a highly concentrated Vineager and Neem Mix to kill the weeds, and hopefully any pests there. When I can afford to, I will prob put some landscaping fabric down as well, and then pallets on top. I am shooting to move the plants this weekend.

so, I assembled the new carport, seems I mixed poles up or they didn't include the right number of poles because there was an extra roof beam and a missing leg pole. I have to tackle it again tomorrow. I put the roof top on nice and secure, and got the ends somewhat up, just to see whats what. I gotta say, the first impressions of the plastic is it seems very sturdy, and a good buy. it does seem pretty stealthy as well.
