[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1968177, member: 81934"] 29 May Progress After having lots of no-shows 4 days running , gardening "expert" finally showed up yesterday for a full day . Not quite finished yet , my berry plants yet to be planted , and some of the natives yet to go into their forever homes in the 2 big back beds. Bit 2 more eucy mulch required - 2 more scoops ( 0.5 cu-m +/- ) Eucy mulch needed to finish off properly the L shaped and 6m x 1.5m bed and needed more premium citrus potting mix ( 6 more bags ). Only space for 6 x 40cm pots at front (east lower step) of the L shaded bed ( 3m - 2x ( 0.075 + 0.1 ) = 2.65m of bed space.. Not exactly followed my instructions of placement of the 20mm at pressure PVC 4 outlet manifold , >> decided to pit one of the pressure reducers at the timer instead of having a pressure reducer after each manifold outlet globe valve ( as far as I can see purely labor saving on his behalf ) his explanation is going from 20mm PVC to 19mm Polypipe is too confusing / difficult = ie too much work ) ==> at each 3m x 1.5m bed & 6m x 1.5m bed plumbing is now the 20mm PVC globe valve is replaced with a 19mm in-line PP tap no individual bed pressure reducer each still has a 19mm filter. >> PVC manifold is 1m from fence , explanation is when the new neighbours want the new bdry fence it will be better if there is 1m distance --- OK fair enough. >> noticed the plumber put the Nth tap's post right against the bdry fence ( they aren't great at following instructions either told him 30cm from fence too , looks more like 3cm !! ). [img]https://i.postimg.cc/wvPDM3sM/IMG-1456.jpg[/img] Discovered a lot of mud and weeds & grass under the gutter grill in the driveway ( suspect lot of this was washed in when there was no grass on the north half of the yard ). Progress as off this morning PVC manifold long run to beds [img]https://i.postimg.cc/Y251wGHy/IMG-1457.jpg[/img] Herb & veg beds prepped and covered with liberal layer of sugarcane mulch. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/bYttLyt0/IMG-1459.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/7Pnxqj88/IMG-1462.jpg[/img] Most the natives planted [img]https://i.postimg.cc/QtkrxKzk/IMG-1467.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/FK3MDJh5/IMG-1468.jpg[/img] Staggered gutter beds on fence waiting to be endcapped & planted & irrigated [img]https://i.postimg.cc/PJ39PWQZ/IMG-1466.jpg[/img] noticed in this arrangement in mornings the Eastern ( highest ) gutter is 1) too close to top of fence 2) wont get enough hours of sun for strawberries so a mod is called for [img]https://i.postimg.cc/CM7pzGR2/29may2021-gutter-mod.png[/img] [/QUOTE]
