Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

This drought on the east coast of the far north is getting quite bad now. I really need to sort more irrigation lines out for next year so we're not spending an hour hand watering every evening. On the plus side, even the kikuyu has stopped growing so I don't have to mow as much as I usually do in summer.

Sounds really rough. Would a swale work?

[–] evanuggetpi 2 points 9 months ago

Swales are great! But I have 6ha and just building them would be massively expensive at this scale. I would like to add some to our food forest area though.
