The potting bench has a hole so that soil can be brushed into the bucket below. I was able to salvage some of the older boards from the old pile of junk that stood there before, which are in the roof. Speaking of the roof, see how some of it is clear? I’m going to build a cold frame into that part of the roof for hardening off plants! I’m having a hard time deciding how to do that but though.

The wife wants gravel on the ground but I’m not so sure. I think that the gravel will just end up filling with dirt and debris and weeds. I think I might prefer to just leave it bare earth. What do you think?

      Second on passing on the gravel. Weeds aside, if/when you want to get rid of it doing so won’t be easy. Bare earth, or even some mulch, is the way to go IMO.

        Mulch is a good idea, and when it breaks down and gets filled with soil, it will make a good top dressing in a planting bed.
