Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

Prepper fail: Admonish me for my stupidity !!! I kept loads of packets of seeds in a bucket in the garage. It was almost full. Mostly in their original packets, some of which were opened.

Re: Cheap solar battery charging

Are there step by step instructions for posting and replying to posts anywhere. I'm not familiar with how fora work. This one uses BBCode, of which there are a few syntax variants. Hitting the " Quote button does most of the work for you. Most 'tag' features are aided by the editor buttons, bu...

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

If it was my shed I'd remove the roof, unscrew each of the wall frames from the floor and then each other. Then repair and rebuild (with upgrades).....

Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

Had a generous half hour today pallet busting.today. Therapeutic, but really low yield. These pallets were just not worth the effort. Getting close to new shed base quantity. I still can't wait to see how MrJJ will lift the shed up and replace the base without dismantling it :)
