Hello. This year, I am looking to start making the transition from container gardening to raised bed gardening. I'll probably switch half this year, and half next year. Due to lumber prices this year, I decided that I couldn't justify the extra cost for cedar right now. I'm trying to build these...

Thanks both of you, you are pretty much confirming many of the ideas I have in my head. I'm trying to get the remainder of the plan worked out in my head and then I will likely draw up a preliminary sketch of what I am thinking to have everyone fact check it to make sure it looks good to move...

Yes, the pictures were very helpful and I have a few ideas floating around in my head due to the help from this thread. Now I am just trying to iron out the details and come up with a finalized plan and the possible space sharing was an important part of finalizing plans. Just trying to figure...

RubelliteRose's coop is kind of similar to what I originally had in mind for the coop. How all of the "windows" open or close depending on the weather conditions that way I could try to match our highs and lows as best as possible. The -2 low this year was HIGHLY unusual for our area and not...

Thank you all for the input, it is sincerely appreciated. Is it generally the consensus that the "open air" style coop is ideal for hot climates? I was originally trying to go with something that has 4 walls with ventilation that can be opened or closed as needed for the current weather, but if...

Lots of great info so far, this forum is always so awesome. I am located in Arlington, TX. I never intentionally leave that info out but always seem to manage to accidentally forget to include it. D'oh. We habe summers into the 100's and have some days during the winter that drop below...

Hello all. I am looking to revamp my garden some this year. I have been doing a container garden for many years out of 5 gallon buckets with good success. However many of my buckets are brittle from sun damage and starting to fall apart, so I was considering starting to convert over to raised...

Hello all. I am trying to finalize my plans for a coop that I plan to build and am trying to get a few details finalized before I start drawing up plans. I am in Arlington TX so I need a design that will be good for our summers but can also be closed up to some degree for winters. I am hoping...

Well, really, eggs are just an excuse to add another pet to the household. I've always really loved chickens, but never owned any. I love pretty much all animals, and enjoy keeping anything I can get my hands on. I figure that having a flock of chickens would be fun and rewarding, the eggs are...

Howdy. I'm located in Arlington myself. I don't currently have any feathered friends but am looking at building a coop and raising some chicks this year. I've thought about it for several years, but always had something that prevented me from starting it each year. Should finally have...

Howdy, I'm here in Arlington myself. I don't currently have any chickens yet. Looking to build a coop and get started raising some chicks this year.

Sorry folks, I was thinking my profile had my location listed.. Maybe I was thinking about my old post. I am still located in DFW, Arlington specifically. I am from a pretty well populated area. The only critters I have to deal with are opossums, rats, squirrels, and maybe a neighborhood cat or...

Hello all. I know this is a question with a widely variable answer, but just looking for some total estimate answers here to get an idea to start with. I'm hoping to build something this year so I can get started with some chicks this season. I'll save you all the boring details, but funds are...

Hello all, just thought i would stop by and introduce myself. I have been gardening the last couple of years, and really enjoy the fresh of the vine food that it supplies. It's still a work in progress, each year i try to increase/better the garden than the year before. With the garden fever in...
