Just goes to show, these systems can still thrive on neglect :) I mean it in a good way.

There's been so much rain here Mantis... that all my tanks are over flowing...

Think it was just a case of "Marron overboard"... :mrgreen:

Even spotted a couple of the trout peering over the edge of the big tank this morning....

Reckon I pumped 1500L out of that tank... just to drop the level down...

Yeah I see you have been getting loads of rain. We are having a normal winter here for the first time in more than a decade. Rain coming from southerly fronts and most falling in the mountains and down south. Crops are looking good and with the subsoil moisture they will only need a good rain to finish them off later in the year
Freaking cold though

Don't feed any rhubarb leaves to stock.... they are poisonous, howver they break down well in compost or worm bins.
