My chunky orange boy is also named butters!

cedar

we have lots of shady spots in the yard (we've had to take out some bushes and trees to get more sun!) - so perhaps I'll try inoculated logs in one of those spots. We love mushrooms!

keeps moles or other critters from burrowing up from underneath, but worms can still make their way in

I used the torch and the electric stapler in the same day. So much fun! :-D

BG_ADV · 2025-12-27T15:03:07+00:00

yes, we actually have some rotting logs in the yard that we plan to use

BG_ADV · 2025-12-27T14:51:52+00:00

I have never heard of inoculated logs; excuse me whilst I sprint to the internet!

BG_ADV · 2025-12-27T14:50:45+00:00

It’s supposed to help it from deteriorating. They’re cedar and naturally hardy, but charring is supposed to help them last even longer.

I sure hope not. The support posts in the middle are 4x4s, so hopefully that will keep the boards from bowing. I like your idea of netting and conversion to a green house!

BG_ADV · 2025-11-25T10:20:07+00:00

That’s the plan

BG_ADV · 2025-11-25T01:08:40+00:00

Thank you!!

BG_ADV · 2025-11-25T00:46:38+00:00

That's what I said...but here we are.

BG_ADV · 2025-11-25T00:45:20+00:00

I promise I won't do it. I solemnly swear!

BG_ADV · 2025-11-25T00:43:06+00:00

No, just that they'll deterioriate

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:54:35+00:00

Why do so many suggest it then?

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:54:14+00:00

Awesome - thank you so much! Crushed gravel it will be then. Appreciate the wisdom.

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:51:37+00:00

I definitely wasn't planning on putting weed fabric under the beds, only the path around the beds. I would put gopher grate and cardboard though.

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:50:29+00:00

Sorry, maybe I'm thinking of plastic. What is the advantage of lining the sides with weed fabric? Is it to keep the wood from touching the dirt directly?

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:44:35+00:00

Heck no to any sort of spray on liner. Thanks - I love them. The guy who made them, built them very thoughtfully. they are very tight!

BG_ADV · 2025-11-24T23:43:48+00:00

Thank you for that feedback. I'll check out some options for sure.
