Thanks man. Julie, Logan and I are really excited. Now if lumber prices could drop I could build some stuff.
congrats.
Killing grass with a hose = Bad
Killing grass with a trailer = Acceptable
I didn't have to go near as far as you do, but I ran hose out to my drip irrigation and used a quick connect to coil it up for mowing.
You can't dig a slit trench just deep enough for some black poly pipe, blow it out with air at the end of the season?
i aint got time for that. the soil was what ever the local nursery delivered. just figured i needed to "freshen" it up.
Wait until last frostAny experts on grape plants? I got these plants about a month ago. They are supposed to stay dormant but they were growing like that before purchase. I am not sure if I should plant them now or wait till after last frost.
I tore out a raised strawberry bed and tilled it up also. I am contemplating growing some hot peppers there to keep them away from the rest of the garden plants. I don't need any ghost peppers or scorpions but I am open to ideas.
Just read this. I'm in the same boat, but not as much distance. I'm thinking of running a cheap 115v submersible pump in the rain barrel (which is near the hose/outdoor spigot for easy fill during the summer). Then setting up a barrel with a gravity spigot near my planter boxes. Intend on using that to fill watering cans. I was going to fashion a quick disconnect hose setup for transfer of water from barrel to barrel.Anyone have any solutions for not having water close by? The location we are going to use for this year is a side yard plot that is about 125ft away from the closest hose bib. I dont want to have to snake out a hose every day for water nor do I want to leave one run and kill my grass/ get run over by the mower. Anyone use a water trailer or anything else? I thought about running water out there but I live in an ultra rocky area of New England so trenching will not be fun and there is drainage ditch in between the house and the side yard. Ive been contemplating a trailer setup with big poly tank to fill periodically and leave over there.
Look up self wicking beds. They work well and depends on the size only need to be refilled every few days to weeks.Just read this. I'm in the same boat, but not as much distance.

If it is successful, maybe next year burying the hose underground.
I am in PA and we planted in Mid May last year. Got hit with a frost that wiped out everything, even the stuff we covered. I am not planting till end of May this year.Calling for 1-2" of snow tonight here in west central MO!
Talked to my dad this weekend and he said his taters are up an inch or two. I am ready to get the tomatoes in the ground but it's still a month too early. Few years ago I planted now and while they didn't freeze, they didn't grow at all. The ground is just too cool yet.
Yup.Yeah I don’t plant anything outside until Memorial Day at the soonest (peas and onions are the exception) Anything sooner and your asking for trouble.
