Looks great Rupe. :thumbright:
Things have come a long way in not much time. Love the beds outside, are you going to plant natives in there or some sort of crop ?
Lots of room to expand in the GH. Whats the GH floor made of, kind of looks like tamped earth ?
I love the idea of it ,was thinking of doing it for my shed. Pretty labour intesive though Ide imagine.
Kind regards, Skipd.

Just fine Skip.... and it's easy work digging and burying any pipes... :wink:

And it probably has some thermal mass effect during winter as well...

Wow, looks like you have some kind of orderly lines happening when you put your seeds in. I quite literally throw a handful of seeds in and see what comes up.

The small system, which is being "fishless cycled"... crashed a week ago after a water top up from the dam... pH went from 7.2 - 8.5.... certainly stalled the plant growth, especially as it coincided with a week of very warm weather...
