    What wood to use for building a raised outdoor container bed

    I just finished building a raised bed last weekend. We are going to try what is called Square Foot Gardening, using a mixture of peet moss, vermiculate and compost. We are doing a variety of veggies with the summer squash and 'mato plants going to grow vertical. This was built out of cedar and I...

    First time making bacon!

    After reading on here with all the different ways to cure bacon I decided to do the pop brine. I used 2/3 cups of sea salt instead of the full cup since we aren't huge salt eaters. I picked up a 10 pounds pork belly and sliced it into useable chunks for in a pot. After 16 days  I pulled it...

    500 Gallon RF newbie build

Just need to get some weight in the front of it and put a sink/work station on the front of the trailer but I want to see what will work best once I get working with it. Tomorrow I will put the thermostats in place and fire it up to oil up the warmer box...

    500 Gallon RF newbie build

    Where I think my problem lies is the fact my doors are not cut up as high as everyone elses and with the doors being as heavy as they are I don't want to chance them coming down even with counter weights.

The only way would the weight be counter productive going up, so I think I am just going to grind a whole bunch off the door and try to lower the weight down that...
