Hey everyone!

Here's short Timelapse of the planter cell I made in the front "greenhouse" room of my Earthship. It's made out of cans Earthship style and is 25 ft long by 2 ft wide. I just transplanted 22 different types of greens into it this past week. Long time coming and excited to share future pictures of it!

Enjoy!

Those are called "cat spikes". It's a product you can buy to keep cats out of the planter cell. I've thought of pretty much everything to deter my cat but this seems to be the only thing that really works 100 percent of the time. Great product and just cut out little circles for all my starts I transplanted.

2 weeks in everything is doing great and will post some progress pictures soon!
