This small plot is a lake for about 2-3 weeks each spring due to the topography. The rainwater collection system is designed to feed the Pond of Tranquility more water during the summer & fall months from our roof.
Plot will be receiving extra sprinkler water in 30-60 minute bursts due to young tree & bush water requirements. Also will continue with the sprinkler water (if needed due to lack from sky) to setup a warm season / long-term enhancement ideas.
Will need to remove all sod in this zone & prepare the plot for Japanese Millet/White Dutch Clover seeding.
7 wheelbarrows later, it is ready. I ran into 2-3 inch diameter roots from the ~60 year old Cedar tree nearby. Should be an excellent place to do a quick flood of the main Millet plot once we have some seedlings & heat. I seeded going up the hill & followed the black corrugated drainage pipe to the ElizaBerries fence.
