The potting bench has a hole so that soil can be brushed into the bucket below. I was able to salvage some of the older boards from the old pile of junk that stood there before, which are in the roof. Speaking of the roof, see how some of it is clear? I’m going to build a cold frame into that part of the roof for hardening off plants! I’m having a hard time deciding how to do that but though.

The wife wants gravel on the ground but I’m not so sure. I think that the gravel will just end up filling with dirt and debris and weeds. I think I might prefer to just leave it bare earth. What do you think?

Looks nice and useful. I was thinking about doing something similar. Does not appear to be attached to the building? Posts look like they were covered with some kind of protection, sunk into holes, then back-filled with gravel?

Awesome job! Digging the small details like the relief cuts on the post bracings. Also cool bat box. I have bare earth around my garden shed and it’s not too much work to keep it clear of weeds but depends on the type of soil.
