This will be where we grow tomato's and basil this season.

Its probably 7m^2^ of growing area and over 2m in the center so I wont have to duck. We used recycled and natural (aka free) materials for the frame.

So it needs some trimming and I have to build a window but its 85% done. We'll lay down a layer of paper bags, steal a bit of soil from the garden where we've been burying our compost all winter and top it up with some hay and sheep poo. It'll have some shade cloth thrown over it in summer to keep things from cooking.

I'm really happy how its come together and I only got angry and had a fit like a dozen times during the process. Either I am getting better at building stuff or I am getting better at not freaking out and smacking the dirt with a hammer when the slightest thing goes wrong.

the shade cloth will be green and so will the stuff we grow.
