Lol I'm hoping I can make it all happen. Though I have to say shutting down my garden without an immediate plan for a restart is kinda scary.

Yessir. Change is scary. I am pretty confident you can make happen whatever you set your mind to. I bet a great plan would find it's way into your head as you drive around, especially if you visit any gardens.

Jojo they look like they can bounce back with some love.
If it was me I would keep going since you are so far in already, and past the worst most likely.
If there are bugs anf you cant fingd the triple action plus 2, then just get some neem and spray them at ligfhts off every 3 days 3 times in a row, then spray them with water, then neem again a few more times. If you are persistent and do it under ALL the leaves every time you will keep them at bay till you harvest.
I have sprayed neem till 2 weeks of harvest with no smell or taste or anything, and I spray HEAVY.
I put exhaust on high and fan blowing on them all night to make sure they dont mold.

Sounds like things are going to get under control.

Update. My buddy is still stuck out in LA. He's making due. Basically in waiting mode on his ID. Can't do shit without an ID. They won't give you the time of day at Social Security. Welfare says they need one too. He actually got a job already at Walmart, but needs an ID to complete orientation. He also has interviews at Home Depot and Carls Jr this week. And two more interviews for next week. He asked his Parole Agent when he might get transferred and she said, Oops, I forgot to put that request in. I'll do it now. He might end up staying out there at this point. If he gets a place to stay and a job or two might as well. We'll see what happens, but I'm real encouraged so far.

I'm trying to learn about retaining walls/ stem walls. If anyone has experience building a wall into a hill let me know. I got's questions. Pretty excited about the whole project though. Picked up a pick and new work gloves yesterday. Also got some drafting supplies for the plans. I'm not getting a permit, but want to cover my ass in case someone calls code enforcement on me so I'm going to have all the drawings I would need if a permit was indeed pulled. I'll take pictures of the construction the whole way too in case they want to make sure it's up to code. I'll do everything to code, just don't want to pay for a permit.

I also stopped by Joanns fabric to get some fusible mesh. Finally going to finish a project I've been working on for a long time. :)

So my question is in the picture. Do I have to dig so that the footing of the wall is level all the way around (top picture) - or - can I dig at least below the frost line, but make steps every once in a while?

Hey jiggy my man, retaining wall time eh?! OK!
Here's the skinny, any retaining wall over 4 feet tall (from the top of its footing) needs not only permitting but has to be engineered, according to california building code. So your loophole lies in that statement, keep it under 4 feet and don't push the limit and you will be golden. If you need more than that terrace it to avoid the permit & engineering. I can give you some consult on design if you like. What are you building with?

BTW, thanks for talking about pine needles for this project a while back. I was needing a solution for regulating acidity on my blueberries, ph is too high and they like acidity. Anywho indirectly you got me to apply pine needle mulch to them and they are thankful! Just passing that back to you. ;)

And that is the beauty of sharing. I tell you guys meaningless stuff like "I have a giant pile of pine needles" and good comes of it. Glad the others and their info could help. :)

I'll post pics and drawing in a little bit of the area. No part of the wall will be 4 feet, so that is good. The retaining wall will be retaining the foundation for the room I'm going to build. I'm gonna level out the hill and pour a slab.

I figure I'll just use regular old cinder block and rebar.

If your pouring a slab I don't think you need to do the retaining wall thing, but I also don't know what the big picture is!

Why is your sun so much bigger than ours? it looks dimmer though, I cant even stare directly into mine for more than 15 seconds, it hurts. :eyesmoke:

Building time yay! Im starting my new barn too, I'll post some pics in me journal.


haha colo I was thinking about the pine needles yesterday! I got a pine tree or two in my area (taste the sarcasm) and found out how acidic everyones soil is around me,,, I was lucky enough to land on a spot that used to be a chicken farm a long time ago,,, the soil kick ass for the most part.

with my past experience the footing needs to be level all the way around at the base. but not sure what the building code is now. that shit was 7 years ago.
