We planted various greens including spinach, mixed greens and chard.
A moist seedbed and soon we'll have the first sprouts of 2011...
The sun was kind to our soil today...
Another quick project was to re-connect our downspouts to the cistern. We simply cut a hole in the cistern lid and inserted the downspout (wrapping it in foam to fill any gaps that might allow small critters to fall into the water).
Here's the set-up, all ready for the next showers. We plan to install an overflow as well. Once the cistern is full the overflow will transmit extra water to another location (perhaps a constructed wetland or something along those lines).
