Whew! After we made that Vlog yesterday introducing the pocket pond’s next steps, we worked on the pond into the night and got about 1/2 of the basin plastered with concrete.
Today we worked all day and got it finished up to the lip where we’ll set rocks, planting shelves (of differing levels for planting aquatic plants) and will have a spillway into the gardens.
It was a hot one today and mixing concrete in the sun and plastering makes for two tired homesteaders! By the end we were pretty beat, but wanted to finish the task up to the lip. If it rains, we were afraid it may erode if we didn’t get it up to the lip.
Thanks for tuning in to our Homestead Vlog.
The hard work is definitely worth it when we think of the 1,500 gallons on the homestead and a habitat where we can grow cool aquatic plants and be home for frogs, fish and other life! So exciting!
I think we’ll sleep well tonight. Now off for a big dinner! Peace!
