Anyone live near Blind Freddie? Can you give him a Bitch Slapping for holding out on us for so long!! 2010 !! Thats 3 years of secretly working on that beautiful property

Sorry Seamonky

Shit I dont know if I should show you some of the other projects I've done around here.

Yep might as well rub it in a bit more.

Heres a view from the wicking beds on the other side of the yard.

And it just keeps getting better

Forgot to mention, I ran one of the Agg drains into the top of the pond also, this dverts a lot of surface run off from another 200+ M2 of gound and our water tank overflow also drains into it.

This ensures a pretty good % of water change every time we get a storm. Once the ground is wet it only takes about 30mm of rain to get the dam overflowing.

Has he mentioned the supervisor yet, i think I spied her watching from the pagola in an earlier photo. Does an excellent job of keeping him going., cheers mate. PS Still need that hand you were going to give me, cheers

Dropped a bait trap in this morning, pulled it out this afternoon.

More fresh food for the Jade perch.

That's it! I'm moving to qld. Wow that's unreal. I want one...

Nice work Fred. Does the croc prop scare ducks away too. I am trying to get leb cress established in one of my freshwater ponds but the ducks keep eating it. The croc propr looks like it could work a treat. And where can i get one? Many thanks Ace

As Seamonkey has pointed out BF, if you hold out on us again like this there may be some kind of temporary banning or something.

You cant have a kick ass garden of eden like that and not share for 3 years!

How dare you!

lol

Simply beautiful. Very jealous.

As long as you ready to back the winning state of origin team, and yell out Queenslander every chance you get

Geepers I'm sure to get the boot when I get around to postng pics of some of the other areas weve done

Wow awesome work!

So you get mosquito problems in your neck of the woods?

No more mossies here because of the ponds around the place, they all have fish in them, pretty much all bugs get eaten. The frogs love it and we get quite a few birds coming down in the dry seasons.

The only down side is that the toads also like it, but during the warmer months I patrol the yard a few nights a week wacking the Cane Toads and I scoop thier eggs / tadpoles out of the water evry time I see them.

Time to trim back the water plants before they take over, some are also looking a bit tired.

Before shots now , will post after shots when done. I want to leave plenty of plant cover in there for the Silver Perch fingerlings to hide in (from the predatory birds) , they also feed on the algea that grows on the plant stems and roots Etc.

Looking good BF , love your work
