Used a whole heap of the bush poles to build dragon fruit pens in the septic tank overflow pool.
Two outside bays each have two rows of four left and right.
The outer rows and the back rows will grow up and over and the fruit will be picked from walking around the outside.
The two inner rows grow up and over and the fruit will be accessed from the middle "corral."
Heading into the city Wednesday (depending on whether or not the ute is good to go haha) hopefully, so I'll grab another trailer load of free fill and I'll fill up more around the poles then transplant the dragon fruit in and mulch it.
Probably also going to start growing comfrey in the middle as well which I can cut back with the lawnmower and dump the catcher out across the property to add more carbon into the "dead" soils. If that plan becomes a pain in the arse because I can't mow it easily etc might change that into a place I can transplant comfrey from to elsewhere and when I do, I plant sunflowers in the middle of the rows for chook food

Obviously haven't planted out all my dragon fruit because I don't have soil under most of the poles but where I already had enough I moved them into place.
Also set up a simple retic system for summer months. Probably unnecessary since it's the septic overflow pond and stays relatively moist year round but just in case can put it on a 7 day timer

Added an IBC under the solar shed roof as well. Have the roof space might as well see what I can catch from it over a winter to pump down to the pools.
Will eventually add tin around it to protect it from the sun but for now I'm slacking hahaha

Shower in the caravan has been tiled finally. Just need to silicone between the tiles, it's better than grout in my opinion though it obviously costs more, but it's a small area so meh I'll spend 50 bucks or whatever in silicone to do it once and never worry about it again

Finished UV protecting the IBC haha. Weed barrier added first then sheeted in tin then some flashings to make it look pretttty bahahahahah.
Already got a pump ready to go just have to build another little pump house for that then pipe the bastard into the existing run and call it a day.

Smashed together another little pump shed. Nothing special just keep the rain off. Need to test if that IBC isn't going to leak so I've added a tap so I can open the tap haha. Once I've determined the tap doesn't leak I can fasten the planks to the floor for the pump to sit on.
