Tomorrows load is tanks, more growbeds, pumps etc...

(1) "Courtyard System" - Point Clare (Gosford)
(2) "Family System" - Chittaway Bay (Between The Entrance & Wyong)
(3) DIY modified "Family System" - San Remo (Near Budgewoi)
(4) DIY modified "Entertainer System" - Mt Keira (Wollongong)

The San Remo installation is going into Northlakes High School... the teacher already has a small system there that he moved from his home.... successfully growing Jade Perch...

Talking to the soon to be owner of the Chittaway Bay system... revealed another person (a friend) on the Central Coast that's also been growing out Jade Perch in AP... :shock:

Holy Cow..... :shock:

The gear on the truck looks a bit like the 3D jigsaw puzzle we had stacking it into the container.

Rup, thought you ere too quiet to be doing nothing.
Pity you can't get frequent flyer points, you're up this way so often. Well done.

Rupe - must have played a lot of tetris in your time =)

I didn't think it'd be possible to grow JP down to Gosford! Don't they like it HOT? Like > 20 degrees?

Didn't think so either Gemmel... although at least one of them has confessed to heating them through winter....

Basically brand new tyres on the back wheels.... just completely delaminated... don't remember running over anything...

100kph.. with a full load... scared the crap out of me.... :shock:

3 hours to load up the truck, 1 hour into the trip... 2 hours to limp back home... and 2 hours to unload everything... including a tonne of clay...

Not my best day.... and I'm knackered....

Bugger, I hope they weren't retreads!
Good luck once the old girl has new shoes Rupe.
I'd be having a chat to the tyre place if I were you about why they died so quick.

So that's a "Courtyard" system, a "Family" system... and 1x3000L, 2x1000L and three growbeds (to Northlakes High)... for the Central Coast...

And another "Family" system... still to take the stands up.... to Musswellbrock...

After talking to Shane about his plans, and budget... the Northlakes High system could prove to be very interesting... :wink:
