We made it to Friday! Friday Friday!
It is gonna be a purdy day here. Low to mid 70s for the high. Mrs Carrera has big plans. Yet another large chunk of grass that I have been mowing will become a garden area. Less for me to mow but a LOT of work to make the change. Today I am borrowing a real pick-em-up work truck from a buddy and going to get a load of compost. When we get it home gotta get it all out of the pickup and onto a temporary spot on a different garden area.
The fun is gonna be removing a triangular shaped chunk of lawn 25 feet wide at the bottom and 15 feet tall. It is on a slope so we need to terrace it or build a retaining wall at the bottom that will be 18 to 24 inches tall. Right now it is part of the yard irrigation. Spray heads are not allowed on the new plants so I 'get" to convert that area and all the other garden areas to drip irrigation.
Drip irrigation is like 5 gallons per HOUR, and the well puts out 18 gallons per minute. We don't have a pressure tank. I will likely have to convert that garden section to run off of city water.
It will look nice when finished but I am not sure I will still be alive after all that.
