Boxes are done.(ish) I'm going to close in the outside of the pallets and use them to do some companion planting with some herbs and whatnot. Also a few more aesthetic touches, but mostly done.

I still have to build the support for the canopy, but I think I'm going to get the top cover (costlesstarps.com - Shout out to @doublejj for the recommendation) and the bug nets this weekend. Then wrap with some chainlink fence and we're done.

*You can see the fence and the canopy frame in the backgrounds

We have, in the neighborhood of, 550 to 600 gallons of soil or around 85 cu ft per box.

mixed in with our very red garden dirt.....

Dr. Earth's LIFE 5-5-5
Soil Cycle organic (really like the mix in here)
Hella grass clippings
some compost from our bin
shit ton of perilite

Credit where credit is due. I'm hoping once it's all said and done..... it should look like @nuggs garden had a baby with one of @doublejj carport grows.

That's the hope my man. I don't want to have to moderate my medicine throughout the year. @calla_lily plans to make some medicated soaps and other goodies so we're trying to get the biggest harvest possible while trying to keep our grow as close to "legal" as we can.

That little JD is a life saver, such a workhorse! Hoping to get some of the different attachments for it soon, especially the tiller.

That's a real cool Hive. We want to start keeping bees, maybe next year, and that would be an awesome addition to the garden

Sitting around getting stoned, looking through some of my old projects and having a little trouble getting this day started.... So I guess I'll share a couple.

Couple years ago I got my hands on some real nice hand sewn red cedar. Some builds turned out better than others, but it was awesome wood to work with.

Did this as Christmas present for my mom

Nice workmanship. I used to do a lot of woodwork using red cedar. My Dad and I built all the kitchen cabinets in their house out of it. We took some {of our logs} to the sawmill, and had the sawmill come to us a couple of times too. I've often thought of picking up a used sawmill, but I don't have time to use 3/4 of the crap I have now.

Thanks @larry. I've never seen a full kitchen done with it. I bet that looked awesome. How much did it run you to have the sawmill come to you? I'm a ways off from being able to afford one of my own, but I'd love to clear out a bunch of trees and get some lumber at the same time.

It's been too long for me to remember what a bf cost. But a good source of info is The Forestry Forum. {it's like the RIU of the tree business} I'm sure there is a sawyer in your area. http://www.forestryforum.com/board/index.php

We had to stack the lumber as the sawyer was working by himself.

For hard to find woods like Red Cedar it's a better deal than cheaper stuff like pine. And for pine, you are still going to have to treat it, so that cost needs to be considered.
