Done for the day! Got so much done thanks to the much more mild temperatures (22°C with a breeze!)
Pebble and drain rock are complete in the Bay. Brought the pebble to just below the middle holes around the bin. (There is another row of them a few inches below)
The drain rock up to the larger holes so that larger debris can be drawn into the bin.
I was really hoping to get my big shipment of various sizes of rock/pebble this week but the rock place was too busy for little me. They promised Monday!
All the rock has to be clean to act as a good organic filter (dirt on rock means no space for good water cleaning bacteria to attach!) so I am washing as I go.
I try to wash most of it in the hole itself since then I can direct where it gets pumped out. Today the blueberry and flower
garden was the benificiary. Tomorrow maybe the hazelnut tree
Still very happy with the progress though. Feel like I'm getting into the meat of the project now!
