The weather finally dried out just enough to get a couple of redtruckloads of mulch out of the gulch and up to the current growing systems. I did one big load early in the day and one late in the evening.
In between, I ran to town and deposited cash so that if we get ripped off they don't get the rest of the months budget, and I swapped the Mercedes for Geoff's truck, and went to Hawaiian cement, for a load of cinders and the for a load of crusher gravel. Did I mention that in the big 6 inch at least rain event we lost all the gravel from one of the tracks to Geoff's place? It washed out the whole side of the road into a pile at the bottom next to the schoolhouse building. I have scraped up this and that, and readjusted the road so that the track that got washed out is now a gutter, but we still need more material to make the road really properly drivable over a wet season. Unfortunately Geoff's truck could really only take 1/2 a tonne, which is hardly anything in the scheme of things.
I also stopped off and picked up a bale of straw from Joan's and delivered it to the Jungle School, sort of as a favour to both parties I guess, and I was sort of on the way anyway. Joan has a bunch of hibiscus prunings that I think I'll run in and get today, and see how they go through Greg's chipper...
The girls had good times in the dome garden, which is really starting to get in some kind of order...
