Today Jeff completed the little house to cover the bore and bore pump.
Apart from a few nails and screws, its all from reclaimed materials. Some pallets, some freebies from the hardware shop and some were Ruby’s old fence! Tin at top came from Tip Shop ages ago.
It was pretty heavy – so I was all ready to go Egyptian on the moving side of things
Disappointingly it moved well with a couple of ropes under it and both of us carrying it down into the yard.
It was only a little awkward to get it over the structure and get the pipe threaded up and out the gap in the roof
So fabulous to be hiding the unaesthetic pipes and switchbox (Which up until now was covered by a bucket weighed down with a brick!!)
I spent the rest of the day puttering about the garden doing a lot of ‘this & that’
Firstly I got onto that pile of silage
I did a bit of weeding and hoeing just to try to keep on top of it a bit
I feel better that at least something is mulched!
On advice of a reader, Elizabeth, I decided to also try grass clippings as a mulch. Since Jeff also mowed the lawns today, I thought I would rake up some and use it.
There wasn’t a lot to collect – mostly scattered too thinly now the rain has eased a bit, things aren’t as lush. Still… every bit helps!
Then it was time to dig up some of those self seeded tomatoes in the hothouse that were thriving!
I put several seedlings in a bucket then went all about the yard and randomly planted them!
All in all… a most productive day! (Not to mention another half a kilo of strawberries!! 🙂 )
Cheers!
