Beautiful fence. One word of caution, you should put your t-posts on the outside of the arches. If the wire holding it in place fails, the arch will spring out and could badly hurt someone. The greenhouse is going to be great. I wish something like that would work for me, but we get 30-50mph wind gusts regularly.

I’m curious to hear your honest Alaskan opinion on those potting bags, I used the same ones last year here in DFW and they were great at first but as we hit triple digits they just couldn’t contain the moisture needed, I’m sure being black didn’t help, but I eventually lost everything I didn’t transplant out of them. This year, I had a random voluntary catnip plant pop up in one and even with crazy amounts of rain I had to replant it once it got about a foot tall,, the pot just can’t maintain moisture.

@modernhomesteadalaska 6 күн бұрын

Last year I planted a couple peppers in them outside and they were the only ones to grow, but keep in mind it rained e eryday and was so cold. So no need to water at all everything was soaked, so I’m hoping they help heat the roots a bit. I will find a way to grow tomato and peppers if it does me in

How much each year does it cost for all amendments including; soil, compost, straw, fertilizer, fencing, seeds, etc

@modernhomesteadalaska 7 күн бұрын

Good question, thus year I didn’t purchase any seeds, I traded labor for the materials to build the fence. And I had purchased the grow bags last year with the intention to grow the tomatoes and peppers so those were last year’s pots, I take all the free pots and holders from the home depot I can. So this year I got some amendments at around $30-$60 and some soil to top the beds and such last year I got so much this year I needed only the truck load at $125, So this year soil for seed starts, amendments, soil for grow bags, I’m into it around $500 for a 50ftx50ft garden space, and my labor as well as Aaron’s

@modernhomesteadalaska 6 күн бұрын

I am not set on the greenhouse they have to be taken down they ones we are trying can’t take our winter, so anything in them has to be moved, grow bags absorb the sun and heat and cause the roots of the plants to be warmer then in the ground, and our soil temps are simply to cold to grow peppers and tomatoes, they are easy to move and can be changed out, they last several years giving me time to figure out a more permanent greenhouse and bed situation in that.
