Wobble-Tee and Mulch
Have just read about a new product ideally suited to our current water shortage - Wobble-Tee
How clever for the manufacturers to come up with a sprinkler solely designed for low water pressure :) More incentive for people to install rain water tanks and/or grey water systems - whether they want to use it on their gardens or lawns !
My back lawn defies my best efforts at murdering it.The front lawn went to "the farm" several years ago when we took a shovel to it and did unspeakable things with weedmats and river pebbles.*NB weedmats are only called thus because the weeds lurve growing through it and river pebbles work as a great form of mulch while giving snails their daily workout as they ascend the Mt Everest of pebble hills ;)
Another by-product of our 21st century lives is shredded paper.Everyone shreds personal letters,documents etc and it just becomes more land fill.
Get a large plastic bucket,fill with tank water and soak your shredded tax avoidance documents in it.Then you can either add them to the compost bin or use them as mulch straight on the garden....or as we do - give them to the chooks to nest in,then after a month or 2 throw it in the compost....if anyone wants to read about the Swiss bank accounts where I'm hiding my millions after a chooks bum has graced it,they're welcome to it !
Off to knock together another couple of vegie garden boxes and think about planting out more green edible thingies :-P

Our dog Marvin (RIP) used to love shredding paper, documents, letters, my school assignments when he was a pup. His fave was the Sunday newspaper - nice and chunky, something to grab hold of as the postlady pushed it through the letterbox in the front door.
Any parts not shredded were thoroughly moistened with saliva (to prepare it for garden mulch?)

Woof.
Marvin was obviously a dog ahead of his time - most news is only worthy as garden mulch.
Woof.
