My Handyman built this deck |
My husband has been fascinated by survival techniques (goaded by dire economic predictions and concerns from our last power outage during Ike).
He is finally coming into homesteading interests as it pertains to the garden. This used to be solely my domain. I dug, tilled, planted, and maintained the gardens -and everything in between the garden growing season in the yard; but now, just in time to offset my physical deficits, comes my husbands interest in developing gardening skillz.
We were talking about becoming serious in our vegetable garden this year, and as I went over the salient points we discussed cold frames. Once upon a time I had one, made out of recycled materials including old glass windows. Time and children demolished it. Plus I didn’t have one of those handy dandy, automatic openers.
Well… I think it is time to build another one and have come across easy direction via a video. So Handyman, this one is for you:
