Woodoven, waiting, waiting, waiting....

Got the foundation down for the woodoven, but in this weather - cold, damp and did I mention cold - the slab will take at least another day before I feel comfortable laying down the wals of the base. So instead, I made another wicking bed (will take photo tomorrow). That's 3 in all, 1 using an old tank and 2 out of redgum sleepers and lined 2/3 high with plastic. This will stop the roots of the neighbours pine trees getting in and sucking all the water and nutrients. We were wondering why the vegies did not take in the 2nd and 3rd year and then we noticed the feeder roots riddled in out beds. So up they come and in go the wicking beds. Reputed to be 40-50% more water efficient.

Here is a photo of the finished slab and some trout.
