im sure my neighbors thought so too. i live in apartments in a "nicer" neighborhood i guess. most people work at the naval base, so once something gets slightly used they throw it out. so far ive collect a nice ass dresser, 2 kiidie pools, a table and tv stand, a coffe table, and a bike. lol
all sitting in my garage, all nice, just minor scrapes or defects, but people around here dont believe in reuse or recycling so i collect. im sure people view me a certain way because of this but i got to boys,3 and 1, and i dont give a fuck how people view me. saving money is saving money, and honestly if you come into my house and sat on my couch, you wouldnt know that almost nothing was bought from a store. all garage sales, hand me downs, or "im too good for this put it out by the street so that wierd pothead with the dog can come pick it up". lol.
i like it man! Yeah, i have a wife and son and raised my son by myself for 3 years by myself before re-marrying so yeah, i hear ya. We're making it, but my wife is working a LOT of hours lately b/c they are available and we need the check. Always re-purposing/recycling something around here to the point where i actually get messages on FB from friends and family before they throw stuff out. LOL!

Some view me as tight or strange or a stoner, but guess what? i also have so little debt that they all just trip out. i owe about another $4k on my truck(had to get it b/c my ex took the car and furniture in the divorce in exchange for me keeping our son) and about $1k on the car. Not buying a new one, just maintaining what i have. The freedom of not being weighed down by ego and pride are amazing and that's what i tell everyone when they ask why i'm almost always in a good mood.

These were topped everal times while they were small(first month), and then they just turn into bushes instead of trees. The thickness in general is, lots of sun, lots of water, and lots of root space, and most importantly....lots of love! Where I see most people make mistakes on their babies, is they try to grow them too big too fast, and don't top em', and they have these tall beanpoles to start out with. I have a couple plants I got from someone else as replacements that were grown like that, and they are bear for the first 2-3 ft. My plants are bud from the ground up. I had to prop the bottom branched up to keep them out of the dirt. Those rows are 10ft. wide+ and most are filling that up!
thats why there so thick

this is great stuff....

I love the swimming pool plant. I actually thought of doing this as a raised bed and opening the bottom for roots. I'm really glad someone did it! Fabulous! I have this exact little pool for my boy. He would not be happy if I took it. LOL. Those pools are comparable in price to plastic pots, and cheaper than root pots for the same size. Great idea. Love to see how it works.

let us know


great grow
