>>341737>How did you make that collage?I use 2 programs, since I no longer have Photoshop installed. I use IrfanView (free download) to resize them to 1024x768 then I copy and paste them into a single file using MS Paint. Prior to that, I would normally use Photoshop to paste them into 1 file then resize the entire file. I really need to reinstall it. There are other programs and Photoshop plugins you can get to make collages automatically.
>Also, those 'U-loops' connecting to the holes is ingenious!! I will try that one day too! I'm guessing you used thin PVC piping, right? Do you ever cover the plants?Those are discarged natural gas line pipes. They are made of ABS plastic I think. Same plastic that is in use for the polytunnels in this old image. Using 2 sets of hoops I was able to use two layers of 6mil plastic and have an air layer between them. One small electric space heater, a small box fan, and lots of black painted water bottles allowed me to have fresh tomatoes in January and early kale and garlic.
>>341771Those should be black soldier fly larva. They differ slightly in appearance from place to place. The ones I have where I live are just like those (google some images). Black soldier flies are really awesome composters. They compost faster than red wiggler worms. You can also setup your compost so that they will crawl out and be deposited into a container to feed chickens. I had a setup like that last year.
They are not meal worms. Put them back into your compost.
>>341883The anon making the new raised beds and the anon that already has a full garden in raised beds are two different people. lol My raised beds don't have anything under them. I did buy lots of landscaping cloth to put under them, but it turned out to be a real pain for a multitude of reasons. So, I tore it out of the only bed I had it in.
Tomato plants where I once worked lasted for 3 years then we removed them, but they were still live and kicking and 75 to 100 feet long.
