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.

Man I have done this in my kitchen a few times so the neighbors didn't see.

PapaPayne your new place is great! You will kill it there this year!
 
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.
