There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought the book specifically for solar, electrical and plumbing set ups. It's a great book for building garden boxes and sheds and coops but no info on setting up some solar panels to provide lights and energy to those sheds.
I know there is formula to build gradient watering system, the correct angle and differences for size. Not in there.
So if you need building plans, using new materials, for your backyard then this is the book for you.
It was an easy read. He writes in a fun and easy going way.
How to build a raised garden bed with a drainage hole are written in excruciating detail.
