Jeff zone 8 N.C. 36 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Tad, those are some great pictures showing your greenhouse from start to finish! I have a couple of questions though. In post #14 I see a trench, about a foot inside the wall posts. Is this for drainage or an EPA requirement to catch runoff? Also, I see that your benches seem to have a perfectly good wooden board base, to set plants on, but you have added a wire covered bench above that. Is there a good reason for that?
