Flats are not from the straw they are steel nails and screws, no telling where I pick them up, but I do seem to be a magnet even when I drive my mom's car no where near my place.
PM sent on tax code
I'm also leaving my collection of Solider Fly larva so the next owners can fully utilize the organic Keyhole garden.

Txdon,

How did the keyhole garden work for you? The wife and I have discussed setting one up.

Txdon,

Since it sets up you do have water it. We throw all our kitchen veg waste in the middle wire cage and it has never filled up (even several watermelons in the summer). The soldier larva speed up the composting. Things really grow good in it with no fertilizer. I put the little shade on it to give the tomatoes a little break from the afternoon sun.

The one in the previous pic was completely disassembled, a slab poured along the outer edge and then mortar between the rocks during the re-build. It's a nice height so no bending over is required.
Here is a pic of the new improved keyhole garden.

I hear you about the bending over. We are converting one of the food gardens from raised beds (~18" high) to used water troughs .

Your keyhole looks like it has some type of liner between stoves and the soil?

If he gets bored, I've got plenty of things for him to work on here. I'll even spring for a bottle of Aqua Velva for all of his shaving and cooking needs.

You are right.
The 11 years I had the land before I retired I dreamed of all the projects I was going to do after I retired. Now 22 years later Many of those projects are still undone but many more have sprouted.
