Iām back!! Due to so much extra time since social distancing, and in my case self isolation, to keep safe from the virus, LESS WORK MORE GARDENING!!! I have an autoimmune condition that has me picking up bugs easily, and was already at ER back in Nov for bronchitis and not being able to breathe. So for now, at home always and tackling big yard projects.
Iāve spent a few winters in the house watching how the water moves through the yard and itās time to get trenching to pipe it away from the house better. I have a walkout basement thatās been showing some signs of moisture, as in just the crystalization on the insides of the concrete footings and walls. Here goes nothing.
Iāve decided to make the pathways to following the pipe trenches, thereās an old shallow well that has its overrun getting piped above ground through the garden, so that will come out and become a āwater featureā that drains into the trench. A dry creek really for most of the year.
Also pulling all the wood out of the garden (help keep carpenter ants away) and building river rock and glass bottle raises beds, some of the glass bottles will become lights, so accounting for electrical in the trench and plumbing for water spigot and an outside shower.
Stone and concrete bear proof composter to be built, as well outside kitchen. LOTS of work. But Iām excited.
Keep safe, healthy, & #staythefuckhome
