Advice: Planter on wheels?
Does anybody have a moving dolly I can borrow so we can put our tomatoes on wheels?
Now that I've got your attention...
We've pressure-washed the deck in preparation for staining. Next step, waiting for a week of no rain, so it will be dry for staining. It's been a month, a very rainy month. The forecast is for rain on Monday.
Meanwhile, d. says the tomatoes need to be planted ASAP, if we're going to have tomatoes. We would like to put them on the deck, in the 3-foot by 3-foot homemade planter. That's a heavy amount of topsoil- maybe 650-800 lbs.
Interim smaller pots aren't as useful (says d.) because he'd have to water twice a day. Putting the planter elsewhere means it's annoying to water. So: I want to put it on wheels, so I can stain most of the deck, roll the planter onto the painted part, and stain the rest. I want to avoid cataclysmic planter failure, broken backs, or failing to stain the *(^%%^ deck this summer.
The tomatoes are busy growing under![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_infamous_j's care, and dan told me today they really should be planted soon.
So is this a good plan? Can you think of better?
Additionally, does anybody have a spare pile of topsoil? d. says we need some. :)
