I Made the Most Beautiful Potting Shed from Trash!

This is the ‘Suburban Homestead’ guy. Love him. His gardens are GORGEOUS! He doesn’t waste an INCH of space in his garden beds and recycles everything he can. Been following him for years.
Yes, he IS an ‘Artist’ FIRST but his carpentry skills are superb.
I’m gonna have to keep my eye on him. That’s soooo pretty, AND functional!!
Makes me realize I have to go clean out the shed, which is under our deck, because free-standing sheds aren’t allowed in our HOA. A former owner was very clever about disguising this one.
Still, the animals love to hide behind it in the winter. Sometimes we find nests in the spring time when we go back in there. It could definitely use a refresh. Another project down the road.
The place where I Pot is all messed up and covered in dirt and stuff by the time I am done. I have to declutter this year. (Swedish Death Cleaning?)
I had problems with a locust tree that sent sprouts up along the back side of the house. I have sprouts popping up 70 feet from the tree! Pulled up a cinder block sidewalk and removed 8 or nine small locust trees and about 25 feet of root from the main tree out in the front of the house. (Removed as much as possible and where the root was detached from the main tree painted it with stump killer) Dealt with a number of chipmuck burrows under the back porch patio at the same time. (A slab on grade patio turned into a back porch.)
In the same area was a Gum Tree too close to the house. It was cut down four years ago and a stump was rotting in the ground. Pulled up as much now rotted roots as possible, filled with as much soil as possible, bought more, tamped it down. I ended up putting in a small retaining wall and extending the sidewalk into a patio using 8' x 16' x 2' cement pavers. Not a Martha Stewart production, but a lot safer than what I had. (So...How I spent 3-4 weeks of the last weeks of my life.)
