We finally got around to finishing the goat house roof... We actually did a very ramshackle job, sticking bits of 2 x 4 in here and there where the bamboo looked like it was going to die soon, and so we could nail up a piece of wood that would hold a gutter. We added some pieces of the fibreglass roofing, which is pretty dodgy... But hopefully the guttering will run most of the water away from the goats feet, and reduce the muddiness in there... So, I didn't get the upper container covered, as there simply wasn't enough of that kind of roofing left to do it properly. Walking around up there though, it is getting pretty thin and I guess it will be leaking sooner than later, so I will be keeping my eyes open for something for that...
After lunch we removed most of the remaining fibreglass to a spot in between the swales to suppress the nahiku and be a floor for a new nursery area. It will get a little afternoon shade from a Java Plum, and it has hose access from the new line that went in yesterday. We moved down a bunch of trays full of 4 inch pots using the red truck.
We also dropped in pidgeon pea seedlings and peanut cuttings in an area we are going to sheet mulch this morning, that should give some windbreak for the proposed dwarf citrus orchard... And then the sun went down and bad light stopped play.
