Need a seance for thatNo cattle on your lawn thenbut dangerous if you have had to much beer ask Capability Brown
Capability Brown designed this feature to enable the landscape with cattle to be visible from your stately home without them mucking up your lawn but if ****ed you could fall over the edgeNeed a seance for that![]()

If I was you I would install plastic under ground storage tanks fed from the mains so you can fill when no shortage and no need for fillers in the last 10yrs we have noticed that we are getting less rain fall and the need to buy in water the cost has increased a large amount so in general there is less water about getting to the point that it's cheaper to drink beer than water so some benefitsWe are now on a regime of (supposedly 1 day on 1 day off) yes they turn it off at 8am then they may turn it on for the next due day but it takes all day to fill all the lines so its not till late afternoon we get pressure. We got pressure at 3pm yesterday (we heard the air being pushed at 11am), so I filled the sink and did some washing up while M had a shower, then I had 1 after I finished doing the manly washing up. It was a dribble again at 11pm when we went to bed, me thinks the guys that turn the valves don't have watches, or don't want to get up early
.
We don't waste water, don't have a garden to water or worry that the grass is crunchy yellow. We also spent a good few months (before we were mains connected) collecting water from a spring to fill loos and supply showers, so we understand how much is needed and also how easy it is wasted.
We have a huge choice as to dig a well, lots around here are drying as the water table lowers. Or build a storage of water that if we know the water is off we have enough if we are good.
Need to bend a few welding rods and go divining to see.
Whenever we dug an ole more than 2m +/- there was water from the ground, maybe I should go out and dig an ole.
But..... I only take the wash n go to the hot tub, then rinse in the pool,
When I stink to much.

What you say makes perfect sense.Have you considered the possible action of rats?
They like getting into drain pipes and setting up camp in there and they are destructive little beggars. If there are bends or derivations that gives them an internal surface they can get their teeth into and if plastic pipes they can chew through it.
Pipes underground may be laid with sand/gravel round and on top of them (they do that here) then earth on top. If chewed through that can collapse into the pipe and more of it can get washed into the pipe and accumulate. As for the bits of polystyrene, forms made of it are often used for moulding concrete - I was digging bits of it out of the ground here for years!
We have a pipe here which has a 45 deg bend in it and rats have probably chewed it through at that point. Clean water was going in at one end and coming out the other end was muddy water with stones etc in it. I found a hole in the ground on the surface and poured a load of water down it. Muddy water came out of the pipe. Been meaning to dig it up and sort it but too many other things to do.
This put me in mind of the Scots regiments in WW1 in the trenches. The Germans called them "the devils in skirts" bu it must have been awful for them.Is it a pvc kilt to keep the rain off it![]()
All he needs is a gas cape!!Ah, come on WL! Our Kev’s not an MP!
Morning all!
W and I years ago considered selling up and buying a country house, with extensive grounds, that was up for sale with the idea of converting it into a country house hotel like the one I worked in years ago.No cattle on your lawn thenbut dangerous if you have had to much beer ask Capability Brown
Very nice, good wide range. Am I correct that you have no aubergines, courgettes or gherkins?Harvest under way View attachment 324444
