My Project

Our raised bed garden is looking fly! We have all of them filled and ready for planting so now we need some seedlings! However, we got rid of the tables in our shade house/greenhouse because they were broken and bulky, but now that means we have no where to store our pots to plant seeds. These rolling shelves will remedy our dilemma and also give us a way to roll seedlings to the beds, ready for planting!

The proper tools and equipment can make any project run smoother and more efficiently.

These rolling metal shelves will make our lives a lot easier in the garden, and give us lots of square footage to hold pots to plant our seeds. The banana slicers will help us take a lot less time cutting bananas for the freeze dryer. Work smarter, not harder!
