Hole In The Clouds RGS diary 23


Hole in the clouds

Recommended Posts

Hi guys thought I’d start this diary. Been busy prepping clearing areas, cutting down trees, digging new holes and top dressing the old ones. 
Going to be a hard one to pull off as I have so much going on but I have high hopes!

All the best everyone let’s hope for good weather!

So this will eventually be my water source on main plot. Doubt it will be any use this year but will be finished in a week or two so should be nice and full for next year!

Quick question that picture you said it gunna be a water source is the any membrane or plastic to catch it or is it all natural. 

 

Big selection of seeds .

I’ve sort of just made the banks I need to dig it out and pile the earth onto the walls I’ve built. I’m planning to put a membrane down and try and get as big a catchment area as possible. Basically there’s a natural gully that feeds into this hole so was thinking of extending the membrane up into the gully couple of metres at a time over the summer. Hopefully when it rains it will create a nice stream down the gulley to feed the hole! :skin_up:

Left a tree half cut to fall in wind but it fell the wrong way. I’ve got a couple of holes under there! I had to cut it up to remove to sidelines in pieces before I could do anything.

Popped to my main plot dropped off some more coco to leave to hydrate and some compost that I dug into a couple of holes. Nearly all finished there now just a few bits to do and it’s ready.

First thing was to check on the new swimming pool which is filling up nicely :) 

I then headed off for the day plot hunting found two nice small south facing plots. One has lovely soil the other is rocky but both have sun dawn till dusk. Found loads of awesome areas but they were all EES facing would lose the sun in afternoon I’ll keep looking but would I get any success here?
