    Thank you ,but with this system is so easy. I just check to make sure it's still running and it takes care of it's self.
    I will be making a video soon of the Rocket stove install in the green house. That'll be interesting. i'm going to use the brick maker for most of the chase then fill it in with cob. Lot of work but my mixer is coming Wed.

    Crazy isn't it? I even have some Red beets looking like they might make it, but I have thought that before so I will not get my hopes up, I'll be crushed like a Bug again![violin][nk]

    Can you plant underneath it? or is that some water dripping? Vertical gardening is in.

    That and a little Epsom salt for magnesium is all. I need to mix up some more this weekend, all the rain diluted it but the rainwater took up the slack.
    Picked the first salad for the Mrs. Tuesday.
    I could plant under it but the chickens and Turkeys would just eat everything.
    I will once it's time to put the plastic over the bed.

    I haven't done the raft thing yet, thought it looks easier than the rail system and probably cheaper. I do like the rail system though it seems to work very well, comparing the Lettuce in the ground versus the Lettuce in the system, the system is out performing by 50%.
