Greenhouse looks great, K. Chickens are gonna love it. Are you going to run them through and then plant into the beds behind them?

I can't believe how warm it is in that greenhouse. Just from the sheeting and the sun? Wow. Makes me really want to do a greenhouse here next year.

Pork, it's unbelievable how well they hold the heat. It will definitely extend your growing season. You can build one this year and use it for the fall if you think it's too late for the spring stuff.

K, when you add cardboard do you shred yours?

I basically sheet mulched a few areas this year. Put down a layer or two of cardboard over the grass, soaked it, then covered it with straw and soaked it again. After that, I framed a bed around it and filled it with planting soil. Just curious how you go about adding cardboard to an established bed.
