Underdog Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 @DutchFox @Tommy tucker is right. I managed to pull up a few. They've been for absolutely ages by the looks of it. The entire area is so over grown and is incredibly difficult to get to I wouldn't be surprised if they've been there for over 20 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water butt is about 230 liter. I pretty much used it as a fail safe just incase the swimming pool burst or deflated. I'm not sure how much water the swimming pool holds, but it's a lot haha. This year because of the rain I've barely had to water the girls. However even if we had half the rain fall we had this season I think it would have definitely been enough to water the girls. And I haven't considered yet whether I'll leave them standing during the winter. Perhaps I will. What would you do mate?

DutchFox Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) @Underdog i thougt...the chineese butt is 50 gallon = 189 liter and if the pool is 250 cm x 100 cm x 50 cm = 1250 liter... so abt 1500 liter total. i bought recently a circular pool of 5300 liter....its 65 cm high. ( only 30 euro 2nd hand including rubber tiles under the pool.) i want to bring it asap to a dry and very hard to reach plot....without water nearby. i put it under a tree and camo and i put bubble plastic floating on the water against evaporation... here in holland....as average... it rains 800 mm in a whole year..... so thats 80 cm... ( im sure you can find a chart of average rainfall in uk ) so i need it to be on the plot asap....or it wont get to 65 cm height of the pool. normally i clear plots after harvest....but this plot will be different... i think you get a rainy summer like 2023...1 time per 5 years..... if you think your plot is hard to find in winter....and you have the logpots there.....if they find the logpots....they know whats happening there....so in that case...leave the water butts also there.......but secure them well...for winter storms...

Underdog Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 @DutchFox ahh well this is the problem. In winter, the plot is easier to discover. In season. Its next to impossible. In fact my last few visits I get lost. The 12ft Himalayan Balsam is really disorientating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12ft Himalayan Balsam is really disorientating. yes...but i trust my pool plot...also in winter....too hard to get to...only if you know where the well hidden entrace is... even incase someone spotted the pool from above..... if i get ripped there....i wont complain...then they really..realy... worked for the loot in seison....to fill water buts.... this was 16meter x 10 meter so 160 m2 if it rains 10 mm ( 10 liter per 1 m2 ) so you get 1600 liter... not bad for a plot without watersource.... also the vegatation under it died 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I visited the planter plot last, my battery was dead on my phone so no pics. They were looking a little sorry for themselves, unfortunately, yellowing sooner than usual. I'm gonna try and get to them this weekend to see what's what 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 PINK CHERRY PIE PLOT Hi lads, hope you're all doing well. So to start off I just want to say, I could smell my plot about 30 feet away and they're not even that far in yet. Beaaaautiful smell. Here are some pics Considering I got them out late, and they're not in the ground, I think they're doing fairly well. All except the runt of the litter of course haha I have to say, this strain is verrrry bush. I had to do a fair bit of defoliation on most of them. Stay tuned for more updates gentlemen. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
