Then you could get wire into it, fewer seams, more consistent mix, less shifting/cracking, etc. I support the DIY concept but this might be a time to consider the cost and labor savings of having a truck show up.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145967744319836316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-54028594176155939892011-05-26T10:34:48.884-05:002011-05-26T10:34:48.884-05:00J: I work with some plant scientists who specializ...J: I work with some plant scientists who specialize in "All Things Greenhouse." They have worked to develop new enviro-friendly greehouse designs, conserve H2O,maximize plant production, and such. They know plants. If you can provide a brief summary of what your goals are with your greenhouse I'll see if I can get them to send you some suggestions on both tips & tricks w/ greenhouse growing, and various plants that you could be very successful growing. (I learned a while ago not to ask a scientist anything unless you have a pretty good idea of what you're talking about. They're so stuck on "facts.") But I am sure they could be a great resource to you.<br />This is an ambitious project you have planned.Liberty N.

He put them on a piece of plastic that was just laid on the ground and filled the forms. When set the forms were hinged open and when the pavers were flipped the plastic side was smooth and shiny. We made a bunch and made a patio from them, some were large and we put no reinforcement in them. 40 years later they are still in use with no cracks.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517178006083074987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-41900181386238403362011-05-26T04:37:13.098-05:002011-05-26T04:37:13.098-05:00I would volunteer as a spotter, however I am down ...I would volunteer as a spotter, however I am down in South Texas and that would be one hell of a commute.<br />John, Maybe you could get the "Terlingua or Bust" guy.
