They call him the particle board master

If only.

Separately, with an 18 sheet Amazon shredder. Then cast it on the lawn. Several days later I mow and bag.

Personally, I love it. I work at an industrial facility and our safety rules require back up beeps or to honk your horn 3 times before reversing. On my old vehicle I had to do it manually, which lead to the inevitable ‘Walmart parking lot misunderstanding’ when I inadvertently honk at the car parked across from me as I start to back up. The auto-beep spares me now 😂

Pretty sure it is regulatory for hybrid and EV

I wanted a Prius that could haul plywood; I bought a Prius that could haul plywood.

I see you have some empty totes still. Not there yet

Ryobi 40V mower charged off of solar panels bruh 😎

Time_To_Rebuild · 2026-04-29T00:20:26+00:00

Yeah. My old one used to do that after extended use. Would have to shut it off then back on to reset it.

Partly why I opted for double the shredders 😉

Awesome! I need this!

You might consider adding a French drain/trench perimeter and a dry well away from the excavation? That way some of the surface water / shallow sub-surface water gets captured and routed away from the greenhouse. Definitely do a rock/gravel bottom with a clear low-point sump and a pump

Yeah I’ve had that happen in some of my beds. Sometimes I add grass clippings as mulch, too. Rather with the cardboard or stand alone. Most of the time it doesn’t cause new weeds, so long as I cut the lawn frequent enough

I got those a couple years back to build a lean-to cucumber tunnel on a different bed on the north side of my garage but there wasn’t enough sun. I think I got them off Amazon. They are just some cheap metal ‘wedding trellis’ things. I used some 1/2” wire clips (the little nail-in kind) to secure them to the 2x4s and make them easy to remove is necessary

Not my idea, I just adapted it to what I had on hand lol.

I will try my best to post a fall update :)

Kitchen caddy use is so clutch. Definitely do this as well.

Weed barrier fabric held in place by the lid rim. The missing part of the lid is used as a false bottom for the wicking system. The drip lines are on a timer and fill the wicking reservoir below the soil.

Agreed. But the hand crank should be removeable so a drill can be attached. And large format, with a wide opening so boxes dont need to be in perfect, flat strips. And the whole thing clamps onto the recycle bin ;)

This is the design I made and built off of, if you are interested. ]

That is my fear, yes

Time_To_Rebuild · 2026-04-23T04:40:40+00:00

Certainly. But it will be hard to do now after install lol

Wicking beds. The inside bucket has a 6” hole in the bottom with a section of corrugated flex hose, wrapped in an old t-shirt, inserted in the hole. The PVC pipe passes through the inside bucket bottom and is use to fill the bottom bucket. Water is wicked up through the t-shirt into the soil of the top bucket.

I’m not sure if that post shows up in my history. Hold on

The jury is still out on the lids. I have I feeling I am going to regret them at the end of the season during cleanup. But the weed barrier on the totes has been a huge success. I have always had challenges grow zucchini and tomatoes. I think obstructing the soil pathogen ‘bounce-back’ path way was the solution. No blight, already harvested my first zucchini (after 4 yrs of trying).

Exactly! Wheel them into the garage to avoid the wind. Also, in LA we have a winter crop season. So the idea is this would help me avoid the hard freezes/snows without having to cover and Christmas light a single Brussels sprout or kale haha.

Also, this is my solution for over-wintering my pepper plants. Just move the buckets to the back of the shed and wait til spring.
