Cool Garden Photo's that have made me think

Have you ever typed in Pallet planter in google image search.
OMG!! So much cool shit, wow just wow. Now here 
is the Question , are they real and are they practical.
I like most of you if you are really reading this, have seen
cool diy gardening with pallets videos or other how to platforms.
I will also cover other garden pix I have found that , i like or
have made me think. 

I have never tried a plastic box for a sip,
But this looks sound. That is , if the plastic
checks out. I used hdpe of PP every time in
my planters. ( i know i did early seeds in PS )

I do really like 5 Gal Sip buckets.
If you have looked at the way my garden
has moved. 5 Gal. sip is the way.
My pepper plants are good all day ,
even moisture all the time. (even !00+ Heat)
My tomato plants are off the charts,
I can't give them enough water. 
I am going to look in to a lid or mulch.
Maybe a timer for watering 


 I really like this idea


It looks really good , and
It is %100 possible with only 
pallet wood. Just remember most 
pallets do not have this level
of quality wood 

This picture is great , I see this being a amazing
start to a support post. Imagine a out door structure
with version of this as its support posts.
EPIC!!!

A small Shelf to support your lights for seeds / starts
Confirmed. Works great.

Early june photes, Garden upgrade edition


 Photos taken June 8th 2020
Major upgrades
mini sips and suport
for most plants







This season we are resetting the back garden. 
More grow sites , reworking some old sites and much more.





First off , I did away with all of my small traditional pots out back.  
 What dose that mean you ask , I am done with random small pots.
It means most of the back garden is sub-irrigated.
I have all of my double buckets from last year.
I also added many more this year , as well as a very
cheep mini setup. 



i have already learned a lot this season
Along the theme i started last year
I only plant things i will use.
With the exception of flowers to attract bees.
Out back is almost all Pepper plants.
I have 2 tomato plants , a arugala plant , and
a onion i tossed in dirt to try and get seed.

This was origanaley was ment to be posted
way back April. Due to Pandemic and job loss
posting was postponed.
I do apologize to any that fallow me.
