Scored the bath tubs for less than 20 bux, gravel only cost fuel and effort to shovel, grade and wash.Digging the hole for the tank and spreading it out to make a level area for the growbeds was a time consuming task but i got there in the end. It will eventually be on timed flood and drain but for the moment is constant flood until it is cycled

Have brocolli, cauliflower, silverbeet, beetroot, lettuce, bok chow and snow peas in orange bed, basically just the vegies we like to eat. Have also started seedlings of most of the above
in seedling tray as back up in case seeds that were just dropped in don't have a great germination rate.
