Title: Greenhouse staging
Post by: Palustris on April 28, 2008, 21:25:07
The first two sections up to the paving slab level. All they need now is a box round to hold the sand plunge.

Good neat job.

May I ask why you opted for sand plunge, over capillary matting?Are there pros and cons for both?

A. I have the sand and would have to buy matting
B. Never had much success with matting
C. The plants are in clay pots and absorb moisture .
D. The pots are buried in the sand so they are protected from extremes.
E. I am a traditionalist!

And you can't push cuttings into capillary matting so easily.

The carpentry there puts my efforts to shame.
