Free cow poo and seedling box.

I believe that all the good things in life are free or cheap at the least!  Thus I spent the after carrying buckets of cow manure  from the paddocks where  Mrs. N’s bullocks have been to the new garden patch… free fertilizer… yay!  I dug it over first and then added the pure poo.  Mrs. N says it’s pretty mild as far as shit goes (she did not say shit), so it can go on anything.

A cosy little box for the seedlings

Now I have been meaning to get a seedling box for some time now and went to the recycling centre to do just that.  As Felix says positive thoughts must be put out; be specific in what you require!

Well freak me green and call me a frog it works.  This was an old window boxing that had the glass missing.  It even has a window lever that can prop it open during the day.  We found two planes of glass that fitted the width which meant only trimming one end to get a perfect fit.

I have a glass cutter at home and it is a good thing we got two planes of glass as the first attempt went horribly wrong.  Try two was perfect and the lesson is when scoring glass with a cutter sometimes less is best – a single score is suffice.

With a few tacks to hold the window in all that was needed was to nail on a handle, give it a quick sand and … one mini glass house suitable for seedlings.
