    Default Grow area update

    Now that everything is settled down from building to repotting & sorting of plants, I thought an update should be posted.
    No emotional harm is intended. hahaha

    1st pic is the original house over view.

    Another question. Your drapes, shade cloth ?i have not seen anything quite like yours. Here(UK) we use green plastic ( maybe polypropylene ? ) woven or knitted clth, or for millionaires there is a white weave with aluminium foil coating on one side ( outside).
