ABOUT: Kat Johnson began learning about organic farming in 2005, as a high school intern on an organic farm in California. Since then, she has worked on ten organic vegetable, urban, and livestock farms in four states and gotten her hands dirty in all aspects of farming operations from hauling water, to management, sales. In 2021 she began designing her own ‘Farmlet’ In Floyd County and went full time as Kat The Farmer growing salad-centric crops along with creating value added products. Kat believes in transparency in growing practices, and in creating a community of growers that can share information so that we all succeed in creating more resilient farms, food systems, and the communities they support.

this is cool stuff

I have almost same slope as yours. How did you connect the corrugated metal to baseboard?

[@katthefarmer]

Hi Nanette good question. I loosened the brackets that hold the baseboard up two at a time and was able to slip it up behind about an inch and pinch it in there a bit. I secured with a few self tapping screws and the bottom edge is just buried. Let me know if you need a closeup photo or if that makes sense.

[@nanettemi800]

Yes, picture please.

[@katthefarmer]

Hmm, I took some photos but can’t post them here 🤷‍♀️
