I finished my "scrap yard" green house and I must say I am very pleased with how it turned out. I used several old windows and some scrap pallet wood I had saved for projects. I did have to purchase the clear sheeting for the roof and some treated posts and 2x4s but all together it cost less than $200. It's not that large, but perfect for what I need to use it for. Already have trays full of seeds and I'm anxiously waiting to see how quickly they sprout.
The square foot garden project is well underway and I already have a nice stand of English Peas. I have a panel ready to install for them to climb. I used the "Mel's Mix" recommendation for the soil and it sure better make as that crap ain't cheap!
I took a couple of hours to plant a bed around an oak tree that was only about 5 foot tall two years ago when I started building my house. Still have to mulch the flowers but I was pleased with the way it turned out. Still need to get the grass to grow and I may seed it one more time, but we have such sandy soil here it's difficult to get "good" grass to grow.
