I also agree that this would be a good place for a greenhouse:out of the way etc. Maybe a small greenhouse in the middle and the natural forest up front to hide the greenhouse. Hmmm...maybe you would forget about your greenhouse. Could you make a door from the shed to the greenhouse? That way it would be well hidden and accessable and the remaining 3m of forested area will be left untouched. That said you could plant some nice clumping dypsis there to fill in the whole 3x1m. What do you think about this suggestion?

I really like the idea of a small greenhouse/shadehouse in there....one that is about 2m long.

And then a small garden in front of it......hhmmm....YES.

1. Hides the tanks.

2. Gives me somewhere to store more sensitive potted palms.

This is good - thanks very much for the ideas ! :)

If you do a greenhouse, it must be VERY well insulated as it will not get much direct sun so most of the time it will barely be warmer than outdoors. PLUS, a way to cool it once it DOES get too hot! To my eyes, due to the extreme temp changes, a shadehouse would be better and probably less mortality.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
