Had a busy few days , the sixty foot run of raised beds is completed and all filled , used a old cement mixer to blend in the compost , sand , horse manure , and soil .....its that nice i could eat it myself !....there are seven tiers ....i have made some cloches from some clear corrugated sheets , enough for three tiers .....made another raised tub out of a plastic round manhole extension....filled ready for ....something ....planted some Jerusalem artichoke up on the bank 11 Cains .
Had a good clean up ....drive....brushed and shovelled up ......from a growing perspective i am now into plan E (forced on me) but its all coming together now ..... the water generating wheel idea has now morphed into two ..... this will give me two bites from two sources using a alternator on one and a dynamo the other with a fail safe of a dynohub just in case ....on the one run i am going to make a form for concrete to create a channel but that will be for good dry summer weather .
The poly tunnel is ready to move... but until the earth works is finished (not even started yet ) i cannot site it permanently ...temporary is bad enough ....but with luck the situation should right it self by years end ....Mushrooms ....going to get that done next week....i intend to attach the box to the side of the brew shed facing south/west (next to the cold frame) .
