This morning after watering the nursery I took some time to mulch and water the Bambusa burmanica's on the driveway. They have been doing fine even in spite of the prolonged dry spell, but it was overdue that I give them a good mulching...
Finished processing the four feedsacks of peanut that Bach and I picked up in town. We made a lot of it long to put stright into the swale, but made a lot of cuttings to pot up in the nursery... Then I showed Bach my method for potting them up in the nursery and we moved a bunch out to harden up...
After lunch I set Bach to collecting pidgeon peas and worked on freeing up the chipper shredder. Also did a little work assembling a work bench for the new shed...
In the afternoon we did some shovelling and shaping on the swale... Realised that the dozer and our surveying didn't make a perfectly level ditch... Ah well, it is pretty good for the most part, and will trap a lot of runoff...

Oh, the new batteries are installed. We really need to get the generator tuned properly and running well if these ones are to last their duration properly...
