The outdoor setting is still only half put together, and I discovered the joys today, of asking an electrician what needs to be done in a 100 year old house to make the wiring safe.

That's going to cost a lot. Not as much as I secretly feared, but close to the first advance I got, which is a scary thought.

Dace and Secondborn planted flowers in the first vegetable plot today. Apparently the flowers keep the bugs off the veges. Not sure if that's true but they sure do look pretty, so what the hell...

Still waiting for my desk to arrive so I can knuckle down to some serious work.

In the meantime, I am shopping for a chook pen. Can't decide between the one on wheels that allows you to move the chooks (and their poo) around the paddock, or the flash one with the downpipe that catches the rainwater off the roof to water the chickens.

Who'd have thought chicken housing would prove such a decision?

 

It's called companion planting and the idea is that if you plant the right plants together they attract the good bugs which eat the bad bugs.

Maybe you should get the rainwater chook pen and put wheels on the bottom...

Mel is very wise, just what I was going to say!

Talk about your beautiful scenery...

If you get the one on wheels, you can blog about walking the chooks.

Definately something with wheels, then you can take the cooks to where their poo can do the most good, rather than having to shovel it later..

P.S. I am only an expert in as far as I watched Gardening Australia once a couple of months ago..

Roddus the Electrician here, I thought I would look up some of your books online after talking to you today and instead I found you web site, cool site and I am very keen to read your books when I get some spare time. I have been itching to really get stuck into your house wiring for some time, all the other owners just did small bits and peices, I'll do my best to go easy on the bill.
