  1. I'm actually a few weeks behind on sharing some updated garden pictures, and I need to take new ones. We've had more rain and all of this is much greener now! But just for reference, this is one of our mixed infiltration basins: chicken litter mulch, yellow sweet clover around the greywater inlet (this basin gets much less and usually no greywater due to a slope issue caused by a previous WWOOFer - eventually we'll rectify that but for right now we're using this deep spot to grow food we can't grow in the proper greywater-fed basins), onions, smyrna melons, mustard greens (out of shot), cowpeas (second image) and butternut squash. As all of this grows, it will be a party of overlapping green, the squash entangling with the clover and the melon leaves flowing over the underground onion bulbs. It's already happening! I'll post some updated pictures soon.

  2. My #weekendProject : two of these.
    The black hose poking out of the end will be a drip system when I get enough time to finish building it.

    In the next couple days, they'll get a nice thick layer of mulch and a sunshade made of burlap / hessian I found at the store.
