Nicole is by far my best helper in the garden. In fact, it's more true
to say I help her. She loves the garden. And I thought I would not
have her help for awhile. But she has an afternoon workshop this
week. So she helped me all morning. And I hope we can also work
together tomorrow. We filled 2 raised beds with compost and soil.
Then we planted them with tomatoes. We also moved the sweet potatoes out
of the green house, and planted that raised bed with more tomatoes. So
far we have 40 tomatoes planted in the green house, and another 10 in the
garden. I think I'll try to plant another 20 in the garden. Then I
have about 150 to 200 more to sell. I was going to give them away, but
now Nicole wants to sell them. She is planning on going to Cyprus this
fall on a Missions trip for 6 weeks. So she wants to raise some of the
money selling off the extra tomatoes. So if you want Heirloom tomatoes,
they now cost 1Euro each. You could have gotten them free yesterday, but
you snoozed...and loosed!
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
