mozzie farm

[Guy]

Just thought I'd post a few photos of my own little piece of paradise -except since the wet year it has become a mozzie haven and has needed to be sprayed before venturing down to do some work in the "hole".This shelter is a disused inground irrigation water tank with a "temporary" roof(8 yrs temporary so far )shelves and work bench-the hanging bamboo acts as morning sun shade and as wind chime when breezy- the roof angle filters summers sun and allows winter sunshine in--The Sign was cut out of thin steel and hopefully means "little trees"--If anyone can read japanese I'm hoping it is right-the untidy messiness of the bench area is normal for me -the last three photos show the result of having my 18 yr old son water them while we were away in woolongong for 5 days._he forgot to turn the tap off after watering and the hose fitting popped off--only the top shelf weren't under water for a day or two--- -so 2 pumps and 4 hrs and a bit of bucket work fixed it --hopefully no ill effects.I must install a watering system one day any comments for improving the set up appreciated

I like it Guy It has a very 'secret garden' look about it. It is a good source of ideas. I will take your word for it about the writing on your metal sign but it certainly looks the goods. What are the trees in the group 'latest photos 80.jpg'?

they are buxus but I am unsure of the variety--the "hole" needs a tidy up and plan to do that within the next decade

Very nice spot you have there Guy. Looks like it would keep you very busy indeed. I recognize the last symbol which is tree but not sure what the first one is. I googled little tree for you and thats not it unfortunately.

Wow thats an amazing bonsai area! very nice mate! trees too!
With all the rain here, couple of my trees ended up under water for almost a day... though it happens in nature from time to time i guess.

Hi

I'd like to stress that Japanese is not my first language (but I did study it). I could be way off in what I've found re your sign.

According to my Nelson Japanese-English character dictionary your sign says "ta(chi)ki which means "standing tree, standing timber".

Cheers
