The copper in the treated lumber is not the problem. It’s the chromium and the arsenic that causes the problems which is why most people are getting away from using this type of treated lumber.

We've had a foot of snow on top of it with no noticable issues whatsoever. It's helpful to shovel it off if it's going to be any more than that.

yes, i built my garden for zero dollars with reused, highly bioactive amended soil! neighbors get upset my garden is doing so much better than theirs and are stumped and ask " what soil do you use" thinking its one thing i paid for making my garden succesful when its a complete picture. i tell them our water ph is off out of the tap and needs adjusted and still see them watering right out of the hose...
@gmcmurt11 күн бұрын
its a whole picture. also use old tent poles for support and old ass pots and resused cloth pots and old litter bins lol

Nice work! Yeah I find my own soil does better now that I've built it up over the years with sheet mulching, animal bedding, humanure, and tons of compost. The black stuff from the garden store looks nice but is just DEAD 😂 Respect your dedication to the free stuff 💪🏻💪🏻

I agree that food/housing are very unaffordable these days. Which is why the idea of living in a country that hasn't experienced such rapid inflation in the cost of basic needs like housing, food, medical, is so appealing. Cost of living in the USA and other western countries is so extremely high, and what do you even get in return?

Our first coop and run were built from an older wood deck we wanted to replace with crushed shell...it wound up looking just like a log cabin when finished...so ran with the theme, it is Fort Henagin, where all the redheads (New Hampshire reds) and brahmas sleep. Our second was gifted by someone who bought it, and decided not to do chickens after all...added a nice outside run area painted it teal...and it is where the Easter eggers live...Our final is about to be finished today, Had to have a LOt more outside space (for the Polish hens and they dont free range well) ..it is already named Poland..Ours all need to be covered in double layers of shade cloth as we are southwest Florida...I think the afternoon sun is about a mile above our yard......be careful...you will outgrow it in no time.. great job especially for a first timer !!
