Looking good! Mine was only delivered on Friday to work (as I knew I'd be there to sign for it) and I'll need to get someone with a ute to bring it home for me. Hopefully today or tomorrow. Its so nice and sunny at you place.

Just ran outside to take this pic of the "pool" aka future garden.



Yes I know its a mess. We've been here 3 months now and Ive only managed to plant some fruit trees and round up where the vege patch will go. My chickens are going to turn into ducks before long.

My greenhouse will be going to the right behind the shed. Im having this week off work so ill try to get it done. I dont mind the rain if its on and off but i wont be able to do it if the wind picks up again. Tantrum

That misting table fits perfectly! Are you going to concrete it to the ground, or fill it with gravel or something like that? It's much more spacious inside than I was imagining.

Hi David, looks good! should be able to propagate most anything. All you need now is sun control with roof and part of the sides sheltered with shade cloth on a sliding rack to allow for seasonal adjustments. It looks to have good roof ventilation. Were the misters on when you took the photo?

What is the trough/table made from? I did one from waterproof ply coated with chop strand mat and polyester resin, lasted for years. My next one will be folded from colourbond flat sheet so as to make it lighter. Other reason I have the sheeting.

Carole, the pressure is on you now to make it all happen, best of luck.
Am sure there will be many years of enjoyment from propagating in it.

Wow that's excellent, David & Carole! Erecting it in situ made it easier for you than it was for us! You'll have a lot of fun with that!

What do you think Val, The propagation bench at the back holds 16 flats. So this should get things moving Very Happy
