I agree with Laura. Front of an electric fan.

Oh I know I know! It's a fan front. I have the screen to a fan that I have been wanting to do this with. Time Time Time, now I'm off for spring break and it's rain, rain, rain, I want sunshine so I can go out and play in the dirt!

I agree, it is a fan front, or back, with some sort of fiber, maybe some coconut coir, or some moss? Very nice. I have seen these other places on Daves.
Very nice

I'm having issues getting my yard started; though it’s been too rainy and cold to do much work. Here's the link to my "new yard" thread for those of you who haven't seen it http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/962115/

Without wanting to sink too much money into it, I rent, or kill my self with work; I'm not sure how to tackle it. My back yard is covered with weeds and ivy; I can pull these by hand for small areas, like the herb garden, but the whole thing is too much. Right now my thought is to cover a path with cardboard (maybe make a stone walkway or stepping stones later) to kill off the weeds and top sow the rest letting the flowers fight it out with the weeds for this year; maybe do a couple other areas for vegetables or specific things. But I'm not even sure that will work, it'll need to at least be weed wacked to give the seeds a fighting chance.

I'm having a lot of problems with the front planter. I'm not sure if it's full shade (haven't had enough sun to tell), bad soil (I've been augmenting it but the base soil is dust like and floated when watered, it's also well drained so it's very hard to soak), the fact that my bulbs were all transplanted after the beginning of the growing season, the horrible weather we've been having or a combination of all the above, but the plants aren't doing much. I have one sickly hyacinth (only thing that’s actually flowered so far), some healthy looking tulip greens (that have been a couple inches tall for weeks), some droopy daffodil greens, crocus whose flowers went mushy before fully opening, etc... Mom says I should just pull everything out, empty the soil (which may have been used by the former tenants outdoor cats) and refill it, mom has the compost if I want to figure out how to get it over here. But, I worry about transplanting the bulbs yet again and if it’s a sun issue it won’t do any good.

The no door side is full shade; the rest of the yard is likely at least partial, not enough sun this year to really tell. You can tell I'm frustrated. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Ya'll, I think the planter is the guard from an old fan. alday
