Electrifying the compost

It is three months since The Dowdings neared completion

and time for the first turning

These are of course multi-purpose compost bins

including tool store and eighteen square metres of rain collecting roof.

With rain in short supply at the moment and The Lake looking rather low

it is just a matter of moving the water 150 metres down there.

Gravity is on our side but a bit of captured sunlight

A bit on intelligent energy store

and a couple of wires

lets’ a pump give things a bit of a boost

and off it goes

First down to the duck butt

and onward under the meadow through a pipe we put down a few years ago

and out into The Lake

These irises will be happier
