I've rescued these plans from https://www.buildsomething.com/plans/PA65C866DE5D2D38A/BaseballSoftball-Dugout-Benches They are no longer posted there.

We've grown a garden for several years, and have experimented with new techniques when we find them. Last year a friend of our showed us his garden, and how he had implemented Vertical Gardening.  He sunk some 4x4 posts so they were about 5 feet tall, and used Trellis Netting between the posts. I wanted to try out vertical gardening, but didn't want to spend a Saturday sinking 4 or 6 posts into the ground. Here's how we accomplished it in our garden.

I started with the plans from this guys website: http://taylorholmes.com/2015/02/16/build-a-super-cheap-10-dollar-hanging-ski-rack/ However, I decided they didn't fit my needs, and they were honestly a little hard to follow.  So here's my attempt.

My family loves having a live Christmas Tree every year.  What does a live tree need to stay alive?  Water! The Base I have for the Christmas Tree has a pretty good well in it, but with a live tree, it needs to be filled at least twice a day, and four or five times a day the first few days. For years, I've been using a dipstick / funnel combo to check the water level, and refill it without having to bend over and crawl under the tree. It worked really well, especially when I had presents under the tree. I've always wanted to purchase one of the external reservoirs, but I've never seen one that I've liked. This year we're leaving for the weekend a few weeks before Christmas, so I needed one to try to keep the tree alive. Read on to see how I made one.
