In this video, I use two 4' x 16' "Goat and Sheep" Panels to build a climbing garden trellis inside two of my new Vegega Raised Garden Beds. I really like how it turned out, and very sturdy. I would recommend this as a two person job, although I managed with just myself.

Straps and duct tape - two indispensable items for the DIYer. Well done.
Very creative positioning of the trellis! Hat off to u!
Turned out great.
Thanks Dave. Asked dad last week if he had been down to see you lately. He said no PM gluten free pizza in a while, but he has been home on the mend from double knee replacements as well, not yet permitted to drive. You start any thing crazy on that great wood lot of yours yet?
If you take Card over the phone and do delivery I’d surprise him.
@@TryNewThings You just let me know the day....and I'll make sure Wayne gets a pizza. On me. Could even be tomorrow if he likes. Will just need to know what kind.
@@TryNewThings House is done....lol. Still some landscaping to do...but we're up there every weekend for now. I'll have to send you a few pics.
Learned something today, never thought of using ratchet straps. I just finished struggling with a cattle panel. Are the goat panels made from a little thinner material?
Last thing I like to do is ask for help, that and the wife does not want to be on video, so have to come up with something. I don’t think they are thinner but could be wrong. I think the squares are smaller.
You need to invest in T Post manufacturing. Look like it will work to me...
To satisfy your T Post craving they will make another appearance in Episode 237.
If I put this on a driveway or patio, is it okay to pressure wash once a year or every 2 years? Will the product peel off with pressure washing or does it penetrate into the concrete? Would you expect the need to reapply after 2 or 3 years?
It will not peal, you may want to check for outdoor use on the label, not sure about that. I have had mine in the barn now for 3 years, and it does wear but does not peal. I would at minimum count on having to re-apply every other year. Where at first my floor would repel fluids, now if I'm not quick enough, they do get through and can stain the concrete, so I'm likely very much do for another coating as well. Thanks for your question, much appreciate you taking the time to leave the comment.
You just can not get good help these days...
I know right? Obviously it had to be my barn they were trying to use as a reference... :)
I love my KOBALT - 80-volt - 5-ah battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Kobalt Pole Saw.? - No cable. - I’m using an Oregon Bar and Chain on it . I have been using it for more than 3 years now and love it. It works great on my southeast Louisiana farm clearing property that a hurricane went through and trashed all the trees in the woods of our 20-acre farm. I carry it all over our woods and the battery lasts a long time. Today I'll be cutting a 6-inch limb off of a tree out front. I also have (2) 80-volt 5-ah batteries 18" chain saws they are awesome and an 80 volt leaf blower.
80v, you are making me jealous, I have used a ton out of my 40v one around the farm and the house. Don't know how we survived prior to getting a pole saw, LOL. I just got a 40v blower and am editing the review video tonight. It would be no match for the 80v.
How is the solar fan working out on the greenhouse?
Still kicking butt and taking names. I'm really pleased with this particular purchase and greenhouse upgrade. Thanks for taking the time to leave the question, very much appreciated Paul!!
Nice
Now you’re more famous.
Tp-Link Smart Switch works via WIFI and costs $18
Great recommendation, no internet at the barn 😩
I love that you gave a shoutout to your Dad. Great idea here. Thanks!
Can’t possibly give my dad more credit than he deserves for all the support and lessons I got from him over the many years. Thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated!
tupperware plastic container mounted on wood post then put transmitter in box cut holes in bottom for power wires put lid on done
Perfect idea!!!
That’s exactly what I need. Thank you.❤️🔥❤️🔥🇺🇸
It is tough to make a good choice without some video to reference. Amazon can be misleading on the size or capacity of various solar fans... you think that is a great price, but read the fine print and see they are only 6" x 6". I know this one is expensive, but it takes a lot to really draw out the heat from a big space like a greenhouse. Glad you found the video helpful, very much appreciate you taking the time to leave the comment!!!
@@TryNewThings and they do everything in millimeters and probably invent their own measurement system soon because people are getting smart What we used to call the communist system versus the American system!
I have a shed with collectibles with it and am really worried about them overheating. No power there, so I think this may be a so,union. Glad I ran into this.
I'm glad you found my video as well, and hope this works out for you. Not sure where you live, but in the winder I disconnect the fan, and plug the shroud with insulation in a plastic bag to keep the heat in vs letting it escape through the big opening.
Fantastic Chris! Glad it worked!
Me to! Sure beats running up the hill to turn the pump on and off :)
Why not use a pressure regulator switch? Probably would need a little tank. If your using remote, wire a light into wiring so you can see. Regardless it meets your needs. Try another weather proof box for your switch.
PVC pipe with a cap mounted to the post. Slide it inside and secure it by the wires on the bottom.
That just might work. Dad said something similar… cut the bottom out of a soda bottle, mount it upright with the cap on.
You can get an "in-service" outlet box cover so u can leave the plug plugged in with the cover closed completely :) Hope all is well ! 26° here today!
Wow, you all skipped spring went straight to summer… I’m assuming you mean Celsius?
@TryNewThings lol yes °c!
Good Mornng
Good morning JW
How does this hold up to fluids such as gas and oil? I work on cars and small engines, spills are inevitable.
Short term pretty good, it has been a number of years now since I built the barn and I have found that without reapplying your level of protection wears off. Still, heck of a lot better even now that untreated, but does no longer prevent leak stains unless you are quite quick.
@TryNewThings thanks, sounds like a product I could use. It is hard to find any long-term durability updates on this product. If I have to reapply every few years, that's not too big of a deal.
How dis you connect the legs to the top?
Pocket screws is how I attached the legs, you can see them at about the 9:00 minute mark. Thanks for the question. You thinking about building one? Two years on, and I'm getting a lot of productivity out of mine inside the greenhouse. Just pulled all the spring lettuce that had run its course and planted some cucumbers that are supposed to be heat tolerant and some peppers for the summer.

Gotta throw on that bigger battery
Sir, my condolences on the paint choice. All we can do is try our best to raise our children right. Sometimes they will make poor choices and we still have to love them. Im sure she's a good kid otherwise. Try to be supportive. 😊
These have to be my favorite comments so far this year. Thanks so much for the chuckle. She is a good kid, otherwise I would have passed on this one. The paint is a great color but dang it was expensive. Hope your painting experience on your fireplace goes as well as my second attempt ;). If you have not already, give the channel a Subscribe, who knows, I may end up doing something else stupid. You may enjoy the Corn Sheller Restoration videos, that was stupid. Ended up paying a fortune for some real good oak LOL.
What kind of lunatic would take a project like this on? (Taking notes for mine) thank you so much
U need full flow 3/4 " ball valve, that shut off causes restriction
Great recommendation Rick. Yeah, I would not get any more pressure, but I'd certainly get more flow.
Without booster pump would you gain flow without hose nozzle? With pump would you gain more pressure and output with a larger inlet hose on pump? Nice looking garden by the way, your hard work is paying off.
Any increase in diameter of the 'tap & hose' would result in greater flow, but not additional pressure. So would fill the bucket faster using gravity only. I would guess a 2" connection and hose would drain those Totes pretty quickly.
When do we get to see the wench motor hooked to the hose retractor? Garden is looking great!
I have to pull the end up to the barn, then the middle up to the barn just to be able to reel in all that hose. I'm leaving the last 100' (150-250') down in the garden.
Yeah it looked like a heavy load.@@TryNewThings
Got some PTO coming up, going to try and get out and find some more silver. First time in quite a while.
@@TryNewThings As in metal detecting?!
Yessir.
I've done it for my neighbor but it does take a few passes to cut through the sod. They still ended up borrowing a rototiller to finish it. I think I'm going to try to work a patch for sweet corn and sunflowers this week and see what happens. I have draft control on my tractor, btw.
As a pre-till option on new ground, I think it is a good option. Helped me locate and remove some rocks before tilling as well.
There's no ground rod included.
There should be, if you ordered the kit, write them back and they should ship you one. Mine came the same way and I had to do the same.
Bunch of questions .... but I'll start with this one. I don't see any protection around the young fruit trees. How do you control the deer?
I have cages built around about 75% of my little fruit trees - have had 3 uncovered trees molested by deer so far :( The garden has a short electric fence + a 7' mesh fence for the deer, hoping this works.
Sounds familiar ... attempting to grow veggies in a weed garden.
It has been insane trying to keep up. I use the little cart to pick away within the rows, and this morning I pulled out the old 'break your back' tiller and tilled between the rows so I could put off weeding there for a bit. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment.
Looked like u had a picture of my garden. OK cart, but I don’t think my wife will pull me around the garden.
weeds are out of control, I have to go in this weekend and find my corn and pumpkins. I was thinking, a battery powered one would be neat. One where you don't even have to get up, just push "forward" button and it moves you down the row :)
I don't need one but I want it cause it looks really cool 😎😎
Be glad you do not need one JW. It is pretty comfy, and I can also use it as a 'shop stool' for certain things around the barn I believe. I also hope it comes in handy when it is time to pick the veggies.
I have this little guy... WOW I love it. My buddy and I were splitting logs we should never have put on it, but it split them like a champ.
sure beats swinging an axe!!! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment :) Feel free to hit subscribe if you have not as well.
Can the mower deck be used with the step?
I don't know the answer, but could measure how far down it extends if that helps. I do not have a mower on my RK.
Nice flying old boy:) A well needed tool for your content! Beautiful views of the farm!
I do need to weave over head shots in as B-roll footage once I get the hang of it. Got my Part 107 UAS License, and I have access to a DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, which seems pretty easy to fly.
Looking Good. I'd like to play with one of those someday.
Quite a bit of fun JW. But I certainly do not want to crash it either.
Looks like about two weeks ahead of Indiana, very cool views.
Glad I have since gotten my garden all in, with this rain, be a while before it isn't all mud again.
Nice place.
It is certainly a lot better than the overgrown abandoned property it was when I bought it. Lot of work to get it 'cleaned up' over the past 3 years. Can't imagine trying to tackle that without having bought the RK25. Still have additional plans for the plot, will likely not be any major additional changes this year, the more than doubling the garden area was this year's big effort I think, that and the rainwater collection system. Hope all is well over at the Astrodiver1 homestead, get any of your tractors stuck again lately?
There may be something to this. I put up a decorative windmill out front for my wife. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any moles out front in several years. In the back yard there are still moles.
I find it seems to work for a relatively small area. With 5 acres I can’t afford that many windmills. But at least I’m keeping them away from the lawn around the greenhouse.
So my question is for the extended terminals. Would that be good for winter use to use a battery maintainer? Just got a rk24 and the battery is horrible to get to it seems and I would like the extend the life of the battery.
It would be perfect for that.
@@TryNewThings Hey man thanks for the reply so quick. Just got a new subscriber
The seed spacing is WAAAAY to close, I used epoxy to close every other hole on most discs.
Great advice. And I will likely borrow that from you for next year. The peas are starting to pop through the soil now and from what I see I would agree with you. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated.
Much better than my 3rd attempt.😊
Just bought one of these. At first it didn’t split a 4”x6” pecan log. Had to spin the log around and hit it from the other side. Finally split 1/4 off and used that same piece to help push the log and THAT worked like a charm. Putting a piece of wood in between the log and push bar really helped and split it all the way through.
That is a really good tip!
I don't think their was even 100 seeds. It will be interesting to see the spacing in a week or two.
Hopefully will find out this week. Supposed to rain every day, and I really need to get in there and pull weeds.
Nice deal! Sounded like there was only 83 pea seeds that fell into the seeder.
We bought a precision planter back in the 70’s, which looks just like your earthway. We have used it every year since and it does a remarkable job. For large seeds I adjust the blade down to get better coverage. You’ll like the results.
I’m just excited about not crawling around to plant. That will be a theme this summer. Got me a gadget to make weeding easier on the back and knees to try out as well.
