Poor, lazy man’s garden pond
Posted by FJ and G on Monday, June 11, 2007 10:34 AM
I had planned to make an elaborate flume leading to the lake (a cattle trough) but got lazy (from making casting projects (1st photo) and burnout) and instead, painted and stalled a galvanized fence pole, a sort of giant culvert, into which goes a hose and out comes raw sewage. I may build a nuclear facility beside the “culvert”, as I’ve seen real nuke plants spewing water.



Every time I post a photo, someone usually asks me for an overall view (vice just closeup). So I rented a Cesna and took an aerial view.



garden shots; the daisies, moss, ferns and wild oak are doing fine, thank you.

David;
What's with the abandoned line behind the shed?

If you are not going to be using it the RbFSRy might be interested in leasing it for access through your market area.  After all they have a new engine on the line and are looking to haul more freight.

Well as it is going to be the out flow from a Nuclear plant -could I suggest a few green LEDs shining from out of the culvet. The water will glow a nice radioactive green....
