That detached garage is my gardening shed, look at the right hand
corner at ground level, critters dug a small entrance there... the
shed floor is crushed stone. The dog house has an overhang to keep
rain out. That dog house is made to be outside but I'm keeping it
inside my gardening shed for the cats, I'll have it filled with straw
for bedding, I buy several bales of straw every year... straw and hay
are not the same. Straw is made up of hollow tubes, excellent
insulating properties for animal bedding and straw contains no seeds
so is excellent for garden mulching... works very well for covering a
newly seeded lawn keeping the birds from feasting... also very good as
mulch for tomato plants, keeps rain from splashing up mud on the
leaves. Hay is animal feed, it's loaded with seeds, and once hay is
established it's near impossible to get rid of it, and it's not
possible to pull up by those steel cable roots to China. Much of my
property was hay fields, the only way to get rid of hay is to keep
mowing it short so it can't reseed, slowly I've been getting rid of it
and sod grass is taking over.
