In my latest woodworking project, watch along as I show you how to build a chicken coop. As I finish up the chicken coop’s frame and roof, it’s then time to add the hen house, feeder, watering system and the finishing touches.
Overall I think that this chicken coop definitely does the trick, the chickens are safe and well cared for, and the coop should last for many years.
As always Im happy to answer any questions.

The no dig gardening method is the approach we take on our farm to ensure minimal weeding and high fertility levels for our vegetables. In this video I’ll show you a simple process on how to make a no dig garden bed:
1. The first step is to clear the entire area where you want to create your no dig garden beds.
Although not an absolute necessity, in this step it’s preferable you remove the root systems from any persistent perennial weeds (like brambles) and mow the entire area.
2. In the second step you’ll need to lay out the ‘frame’ of your no dig beds.
Once you’ve cleared out the area you want to use for the garden beds, it’s time to lay out the ‘frame’ to help visualize where they come. I like to use a small measure tape, some pegs and a little bit of twine for this purpose. See: 01:24.
3. In the third step it’s time to lay down the first layer of light depriving material.
After creating the visual reference of where your growing beds are coming, it’s time to lay down the first light depriving barrier directly on top of the weeds: cardboard. This cardboard layer is going to help killing the existing vegetation below it by depriving them from sunlight. Make sure to include enough overlap on the sheets of cardboard. This sheet mulching technique is a great way to help you create weed free garden beds pretty much instantly. See: 04:00.
4. In the fourth step it’s time to create your no dig garden beds and pathways.
Directly on top of the cardboard you can create your no dig garden beds by applying a layer of weed free compost. The minimum thickness of this compost layer should at least be 10 centimeters (4 inches), but preferably 15 centimeters (6 inches). After applying the compost you’ll need to tamp it down and compact it. You can do this by either walking on the beds, with the back of a shovel or in our case, since we run a commercial scale market garden, a bed roller. See: 07:34.
After creating the beds it’s time to create the pathways. In our case we use woodchips (we have a local free source), but you can also use a little bit of compost for the pathways to lightly cover it. Generally speaking: an area with lots of slug activity should use compost for the pathways. In regions with fewer slug activity you can use woodchips or similar raw organic material.
And just in case you were wondering about the widths of our no dig garden beds and pathways:
Beds: 75 centimeter (30 inch)
Pathways: 45 centimeter (18 inch)
That’s the simple, yet effective no dig gardening approach to turn your lawn (or a weedy patch) into a thriving and fertile vegetable garden instantly.

How to Build a Timber Frame Style Pavilion or Gazebo. I wanted this backyard or deck coving pavilion to be designed and built in a timber frame style with some simple joinery. This open wooden structure is the center piece on the patio. Basic carpentry skills are all you need. Pavilion Plans available for download. Gazebo and pavilion designs are plentiful and theres lots of options. Have a look at the three gable timber frame style pavilion or gazebo ideas I came up with using some post and beam techniques.
