I can't afford to use wood because we need it for the house. I am designing a Rocket Stove that will be in there so it will not use near as much wood and will stay hot all night.

It is easier to just buy the plants at the feed store but not as fun.

It's made from a thick hollow plastic siding and a metal frame. During a big storm a few months ago most of the panels blew away so I had to make my own to replace them.
