The problem with that is everyone else feels the same so you all finish up being similar!

You're the only person I know who doesn't eat vegetables and I'm the only person I know who uses the Roots, Fruits & Leaves gardening plan. Now, I think we'd better get off SC's Build thread or she'll be cross.

Sorry SC, as you were!

Didn’t get a lot done today. We did get our perforated pipe into the plastic wrapped gravel. With more gravel over the top. [attachment=8211] That is now completely enclosed by plastic. I lied to you. It’s not a filter . It’s basically a water tank. To help reduce flooding down stream when it gets bit damp!
RE: The build - Veggie - 01-05-2025
Is that called attenuation - or something? There's an open "attenuation" pond near here- intended to hold and store the water running off the hillside and release it slowly into the stream, reducing the risk of flooding.

As of yesterday morning. We have a working toilet in our house
.Not fitted properly yet as still need to get electric in before we can get plasterboard and skirting boards on walls. Hopefully we’ll get the floor tiled soon.
RE: The build - Veggie - 08-05-2025
Wow!! That is what I call a BIG jobby progress
RE: The build - Small chilli - 09-05-2025
