If its anything like the picture you posted its sort of similar to art show tents (which I know alot about). We use a light dome tent and it handles the weather pretty good. You'd want to bolt down the legs otherwise they are great at creating 'lift'. We usually put 50lb on each leg our our...

Nice!

We travel quite a bit for our work and spend around 7 weeks in Jan-Mar in FL so I expect to drain this for the coldest part of the winter. It does have some really good rock overhangs for the fish to hide under and behind - the 8 we put in there have been pretty good at dodging behind the rocks...

very cool!

The 12 year old checking the water depth. Next weekend we'll work on adding better dirt and some plantings around it. Also plan to get some pea gravel for the shallow end. We'll also see if we can get some goldfish to live in there.

Before adding water.

We did it in 6 hours. Its 8x11. The boys had already dug the big hole in the pile of dirt so at 10 a.m. Alex and I cleaned up the hole to the depth and size we wanted. We put two old 8x5' carpets in the bottom then the pond liner. The rest of the day was spent hauling rocks. We live in a...

2 years ago I paid for a dump truck load of 'good garden soil' to be delivered. Apparently my definition of 'good garden soil' and the truck company's definition differed greatly. What I came home to find is poor top soil with clay in my front yard. I've put a lot of it into my compost area...

I have several concrete block raised beds as well as wood frame ones. I've only got about 2' of natural dirt ontop of the shelf rock back side of a cliff that I live on. I took a class with Len a couple of years ago. He is east of Springfield, MO. Learned a lot. My beds don't look near as...

Aren't coffee grounds good for blueberries too?

I used pallets for my composting area. It was easy to set them up and wire them together. Had a friend who layed them down in a soggy area that he needed a pathway. He just layed them down, added wood planks screwed on top to create a boardwalk. I'm trying to gather a few more myself...not...

Thanks all. I know the Cedar Creek area well. We have friends that live over that way. I know of Baker Creek Seed and their fun festivals but everytime we pass thru the Mansfield area its on a mad dash to St Louis or further - haven't been able to stop there yet. Very familiar with Quincy...

You know how it goes - jumping from one forum group to another to another and someone mentioned this forum group - seems like a great place for me. I'm in SWMO (Branson area). Grew up in the North Central part of the state on a farm but have been down here for the 20 years I've been married...
