Hi Katy Joe for Springfield Missouri may be nice to see another video of when you go to crab king and pick up some parts and this way you could describe or they could describe what parts and all that kind of stuff so what is involved if we plan on growing some hydroponics
The treatment for residential ground-contact wood was changed in 2004, you'd need to special-order the old CCA wood with arsenic in it or you can order it as a pier or long-post. You'd also need that long lasting termiticide soaked into all of that soil which usually last 10-15 years to keep bugs from chewing the soft-moist-wood. You might be able to convert to fake-wood as it is becoming more popular, there are all types so I wouldn't know which fake-wood is best. The power company sent out a crew to wrap a tar-sheet around the first 12 inches of wood inserted into the soil after inspections of old posts, I have no idea what's in it but I imagine it has a 15-year termiticide & anti-fungal.
I couldn't use alkaline copper quatenary treated lumber to be specific. Was recommended Micronized copper azole. The old stuff you described may be good to go I'm not sure.
@@huder67 You're using the same info I am. The old CCA wood is still available but now has restricted-use. It's a 15-40 year cancerous-treatment vs a 6-10 year inhalation/ingestion-hazard. You'll still want some sort of termite treatment, either the 10-15 soil-soak or some other chemical mix for those chewing bugs.
Great that you have the equipment to do the exterior projects you have. Would probably cost a lot to hire someone to backhoe for you. Plus you have MacGyver in Doug!!!!
Katie, you are so right about "ground contact" pressure treated wood today! We have some that is 5 years old and is rotting badly. But I also have some of the old type that is over 30 years old (might be closer to 40 years) and it's just like new except for the weathered color. Zero rot, zero insects. It's like so much more now days, they just don't make anything like they used to.
If you don't want to buy the old CCA style ground contact boards with arsenic you can hit your current boards with high porosity deck sealant and buy yourself another 10 years WITHOUT all the cancer. yay!
Do you lose a lot of water onto the ground that drains out of your strawberry batos? I'm wondering what the best way to catch the draining water and repurpose it in the garden would be.
Superbe vidéo
Thank you!
@@HomegrownPassion de rien c'est avec plaisir 😊
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Jill of all trades 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the content.

good idea...thank you!

I wanted to use ground contact lumber but was informed it would void my plastic warranty.
@@huder67 Cool, I'll have to try finding that in the warranty.

I'm grateful for the equipment and Doug's skills - they save me a lot of money!

Wow, that's crazy how different the wood quality is now compared to back in the day!

Nice hack to keep the deck in good shape without all the nasty chemicals. Thanks for the heads up!
You mentioned that you lost some strawberry plants over winter. Do you know why?
I had about 5% not make it. Not sure why but probably just winter stress.
Great video , do you have any good suggestions for hanging baskets for strawberries
I do lots of hanging basket with strawberries. Just plant as usual. people love them
Do you lose a lot of water onto the ground that drains out of your strawberry batos? I'm wondering what the best way to catch the draining water and repurpose it in the garden would be.
I try and water just enough to have min drain water. No use just flooding the greenhouse
Great looking strawberry 🇳🇿❤️🙏🏼
Yes, thank you
You're always working hard but I love how much you enjoy it ❤
Thanks J. I do enjoy it for sure!

@@HomegrownPassion I can't help but notice you cut out some of the video. Very unfortunate, but I understand.
you want the bloopers? LOL
Good job I like 👍!
Glad you like it! I'll keep the good stuff coming.
I see the posts supporting another project. Interesting to see what that building will be.
Will show you in some upcoming videos!
Always so fun to see what you did this week.
So happy you like it! Can't wait to show you what I've got coming up next!
