the greenhouse project

We began our Spring project list by building a greenhouse.
Hired a 1-tonne excavator for the weekend, and quickly learned how to operate it ourselves - much fun! Over a few weekends the greenhouse took shape.
I downloaded the plans from the internet and modified them for the site. Soon after completion we filled it with vegies and herbs. The next phase will be to build raised garden beds around the perimeter of the greenhouse with wallaby/possum proof fencing. It's a very rewarding feeling to grow our produce, using the rainwater collected by the greenhouse roof! Another point for sustainability - and with a view!
