How I will Spend the Money
Land Layout/Plans
- We currently have our garden in the rectangular section of the existing fence in the top right.
- New section labeled “Garden” will be row crops/fruit trees.
- Our existing pond must be relocated as there are leaks that flow toward house foundation. Will fill current pond with dirt/earth and run trench to the New Irrigation Pond. From there, it can supply water more efficiently to relevant parts of property.

* Pricing above is based upon new products, as referenced below. However, we will source available materials in used but good condition as well. There will be no labor costs aside from the electric and water contracting; all other building and construction labor provided by my husband Don, resulting in an efficient use of funding. All fencing and animal sheds you see on the main site are DIY jobs on limited funding but lots of love!
