Yeh was going to remove the clothes line but now re thinking it

The slo's join up to a 90mm down pipe. The 40mm overflows are just right, but I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy hoping I don't have to get a bigger pump it's 3000lph ATM, with 20 fish and 2000L of gb this sould be enough

I still haven't moved hardly any furniture, jut the other fish tank, and fiddle with te ap a little more


Oh well tomorrow is another day

Remove it???, would make a great trellis!

I was thinking about growing peas and Tommie's up it, still not sure

I have my old one to set up for pumpkin and beans or what ever is in season to grow up

Planted it out

anti gravity AP, nice

Lookin good FB! I do see a wasted FT in the background thou..

Yep that's my next sump

Charlie beat me to it! The big blue fishtank should be more than just a sump. You would certainly see your upkeep costs diminish should you go natural with it.

I rekon my lost bind would more than make up for diminished costs

A few weeks later ...
Sun got the best of some seedlings, have shaded and replanted today

Looking good

4.5 weeks in


The zucchini is flowering but we don't seem to have many bees around. Shoul I hand fertilize?

Hand fertilising is a good idea. Just pull off a male flower (no fruit at the base) and peel back the petals to expose the stigma then wipe pollen on the female flower (small fruit at base). Unless there are lots of bees around this will greatly increase your fruit set

Check out this zucchini flower, 2 stamens in one flower?!
