    That Sucks.
    The rain here is just about finished until about June next year that is unless we get some Summer rain which is usually unlikely But at least all my tanks are full again at the moment.

    We just had 10mm which was nice, but I was hoping for more.

    Which is nice, but be careful what you wish for. Not that long ago it seems, Brissie was one huge sea. Oh that's right some well salaried incompetent clowns couldn't decide if they would open the Dam Flood Gates or not.


    Just sayin'.

    Then left until too late & released at the wrong time so it met the incoming tide As in 74 when it met the incoming king tide . SEQ Water trying to hold the water so they can sell at inflated price.

    Never ceases to amaze me. They get the water for free & still want to rip consumers off to support their huge Salaries & top heavy overheads.

    Dirt day!

    So the procrastinating is over and I had 5 meters of soil delivered this morning. It’s a 3 way mix from a local supplier with soil, mushroom compost and sandy loam so will get things off to a good start. Being the bed is raised, depositing the soil in it was a little entertaining - no pics of that as I’m sure someone would tsk tsk my methodology but it involved a fair few sleepers made into a ramp. The top of the garden bed is plenty strong enough to hold me and a barrow load of soil... 😇

    Probably around a metre short by the time it settles but will do for now. Very happy it’s done as we can start planting now just as it’s warming up. 👍

    Whack some slow release fertiliser on top and dig it in then keep adding some good compost to take up the slack as the dirt settles
