Since the beginning of the Tumbleweed house is still a few months off we have been trying to focus, instead, on our survival skill set. Seeing as to how we live in a rather dirty neighborhood near a city in a house that had burned down with a "store" next to it it's safe to say that the soil here isn't.
Part of me wants to build a raised bed in the yard and fill it with soil but the other part of me wants to do some community recycling. My though is that we could get some old bath tubs or truck beds that tend to litter the streets here and repaint them with an eco-friendly paint. Then we could use THOSE as a raised bed for gardening edibles. Grow some food and help other people de-clutter. Win-win.
On a slightly other not ... another slightly different note? I want to bring my old mini livestock cages over to the new house. Jen and I built them two autumns ago. We used it for rabbits but I just bet we could use them for some bantams. Not sure what the laws are around here but they can't be that rigid what with all the pit bulls running around off their leashes.
As you can see the rabbits found it cozy enough.
This will, of course, require some more fencing. A few sections of old wooden fence would work perfectly to keep the snoopers out.
Love the bathtub/truck bed idea :)
