We took 5 days off for a trip to Jogja (you must visit at least once in your lifetime).
I had no idea how the plants, fish, daphnia, etc would fair. I am happy to report that they all did really well. Some thoughts in no particular order...
- the fence has to be high enough to keep the dog from sensitive areas. That is going to take some doing.
- the timer for refilling the reservoir is essential. Not enough rain enters the reservoir naturally to maintain the water level.
- the timer for watering the plants doesn't look like a high priority now because of the rain, but it will be needed by January.
The daphnia's water was clear so I guess they ran out of food. I will have to maintain a twice weekly feeding of yeast, and investigate further what conditions will allow for it to become a self-sustaining colony.
