We need a plan

Updated 13Dec2019

Whatever we are trying is not really working. And there are too many components to keep track of. Time to draw a plan. Maybe that will also help us organise it in our heads.

Did some "digging"  and found this great site for drawing out garden plans. It's called Gardena. I don't know how to draw or use drawing software well, and yet managed this...

But had to improvise a bit... for example I used a trampoline to draw the compost bins, and white picket fence as the water tubes :)

Here are some pics of our place from different angles, to give you an idea what it really looks like.

The main garden which will house the ponds and vege boxes. It is the main green bit you see in the right half of the diagram above...

The 3 feet wide tiled & raised will have some kind of seat.storage maybe 

The tiny strip of garden we have on the other side (left side of the diagram) will have some plants , compost bins, soil and stuff storage. You can see it here.

Btw the back dog is a stray that we let in occasionally. Zoey has quite a few stray friends that pop by to see her at different times of the day!!  

Food for the smallest fry

The newly hatched or born fry need tiny food called infusoria. I've been watching tutorials on creating and maintaining a culture. This was the clearest explanation I found.

 So it will be stinky, therefor inside the house is not an option. Outside, Zoey our dog will drink it!!

She is a strange dog. When we just got her (someone dumped her in the jungle nearby) we gave her clean water in a bowl. She had a sniff and that was the last of it. She drinks water only from our container ponds. Fish water must be the dog's version of beer or Coke.
