Building a Flower Tunnel: One Tiny Step at a Time

Welcome, fellow garden enthusiasts and procrastinators alike! Today, we embark on a whimsical journey into the world of flower tunnels—a magical realm where blooms flourish and patience is as essential as a watering can in the middle of a drought.

Step 1: The Art of Small Steps

Why rush when you can tiptoe? We’re all about taking it slow. In fact, if we were any slower, we’d be a caterpillar in a traffic jam. Each small step we take in building our flower tunnel is like adding sprinkles to a cupcake—delightful, but let’s not get carried away! We’re talking about tiny, adorable steps that are so small they’d need a magnifying glass to be seen.

Step 2: Mitigating Water Flow

Ah, water flow—the garden’s version of a surprise party. You never know when it’ll come crashing in, soaking your plans like a toddler at a birthday bash. So, to prevent our flower tunnel from turning into a water park, we’re employing the ancient art of mitigation. Think of it as putting a tiny dam in your garden—like a moat, but without the dragons (unless you’re into that sort of thing).

Step 3: Keeping Everyone Waiting

And what’s a garden project without a little suspense? We’re keeping everyone on the edge of their garden chairs, wondering when they’ll see the glorious bloom. “Will it be next week? Next month?” they ponder, as we chuckle knowingly. It’s like the cliffhanger of a soap opera, but with more dirt and fewer dramatic plot twists.

So, there you have it!

Building a flower tunnel, one baby step at a time, while mitigating water flow and keeping the anticipation alive. Who knew gardening could be this entertaining? Now, if only we could grow patience as easily as we grow daisies! 🌼

Our Water becomes drinkable and plenty now, no more shortages

Installing our 1,500 liter Water Storage Tank.

Hey there, friends! 🌟 We’ve been diving into an exciting project lately—building our very own filtration system! It’s been a labor of love, filled with hauling sand and gravel, gluing PVC pipes, and installing valves. Basically we have 3 filtration drums that clean our dirty water. The first is the Gravel Filter to let mud and silk sink to the bottom. The second is a sand filter to clear out small items and the minerals will clean it too. Then, in the third drum, we have charcoal to delete biological hazards. The water comes out clear.

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to:

We’re using three 200-liter drums for our filtration setup:

  1. First drum: Filled with both small and large gravel for the initial filtration.
  2. Second drum: This one’s our sand filter, packed with both coarse and fine sand to catch those finer particles.
  3. Third drum: The charcoal filter, where the magic happens!

And guess what’s on the agenda for tomorrow? We’re crushing charcoal and giving it a good wash to ensure it’s clean and ready for action!

Stay tuned for more updates on our journey! 💪✨
