I think that this is one of the better instructables I have seen lately. I think that this is a really awesome way of utilizing branches that come out of the garden but would otherwise take a couple of years to rot down. This is definately something that I will build once we get our [...]
I know it’s not the shortest day yet, but this has just gone in to the garden
And after it’s planted and covered with leaves for warmth (the tomatoes are long gone now)
OK. So I am looking in to plans for how to make a kiln. This is also in my wonderful plans for world domination muahahaha!
