Are your walls made of FRP panels?
Farmer Maggie confirmed that they are FRP panels.
Where do I find one of those boilers?!
Farmer Maggie says she built the pot using an electric heating element initially designed for brewing beer. She suggests looking into an electric brewing kettle to find something similar. @sarahkrafta4087
Great information! Thank you
Sounds good.
I like to learn more thanks for the video
Amazing presentation. Not in KY. But absolutely what I wanted to find.
Thanks for recording this!
Our pleasure!
Is there a website? We have the seeder with the hose looking for an upgrade. Thanks
Fairly certain it's the Speedy Seeder, from Carolina Greenhouse Supply
