Hemispherical bowls cut short by 6 inches, cut-offs in background. Steel is cheap presently, stocking up for 4-5 year supply. Should give steady income. Bowls in foreground 20-25 per stack @ 100 pounds each bowl. Little stacks deceptively heavy.   Home for sedum's  |

With all those dogs running around soon, I'm guessing this is a way to make sure all the plants are properly watered? Always thinking outside the box.

I like that free form pallet sculpture in the first image too It got free formed all right. Molested and discombobulated by some abusive unloading methods. Poor thing. A bit under designed for the occasion. Have to plant the ring and post photos of it all. If not, the concept escapes many. Thanks for noticing. String trimmer should have little effect on it. |

Dog urine has a way of burning la plantas. box ? Yes, my grass burns out in little round spots each summer from my dogs. If only it WERE beneficial, the hydrant in the planter would be genius. |

Might suffer from an ammonia OD garage. Dog urine has a way of burning la plantas. box ? Yes, my grass burns out in little round spots each summer from my dogs. If only it WERE beneficial, the hydrant in the planter would be genius. if they would only dilute their urine it would be a bit easier on the plants. Familiar with the round spots, Frank Zappa said not to eat the yellow snow... "What is urea? Urea is an organic chemical compound produced when the liver breaks down proteins and ammonia. Half the urea in your body remains in your bloodstream while the other half is mostly excreted through the kidneys as urine. A smaller amount is excreted through sweat. What is urea? It is the largest component of modern commercial fertilizers. Urea fertilizer has nearly replaced ammonium nitrate as a fertilizer in large farming operations. Although this urea is artificially produced, its composition is the same as that produced by the body. Manufactured urea fertilizer can, therefore, be considered an organic fertilizer. It contains large amounts of nitrogen, which is essential for healthy plant growth." |

Nice material to play with, but it looks like work to me. Think you're gonna have any oomph left in you to work those when you retire?  |

Should be able to rig some handling equipment. Want to build some much heavier stuff that would absolutely have to be handled by a crane. Can always hire backbone. A little diesel loader would do the trick. |
