Planters

 Finished the planter boxes for the area under the east facade.

Lay sheets of 4mm steel on the bearers. And left it unsealed to rust.

Then I made boxes out of ply and coated them with a rubber membrane to protect them. They sit on a thin layer of gravel and have triangular cutouts along the base to facilitate water drainage. 

The bottom third of the boxes were filled with largish rocks, then a layer of gravel on top to the halfway mark. The gravel will have water permeable textile on top before soil is added. 

Im planning on having native swamp foxtail grass in the planters but need to wait until spring to plant the seeds.








Mushroom time again and there's been so many huge ones I cant cook enough of them! One weighed in at half a kilo and I was able to make mushroom 'steaks' from the cap!
