parallel to the main wiring harness. This would save removing trim pieces when installing a small amount of aftermarket wiring. Access to the pipe(s) could be via a small (snap shut) door(s) along the trim. It’s just a thought.

We tested the system before pulling any pieces of trim off the car. It seems to be good value for money. It occurred to me that car manufacturers should incorporate lengths of (solid) irrigation pipe (1/4 in. 5 mm i.d, or 1/2 in. 10 mm) along each side of the car from front to back and

and if it didn’t work, I would have dumped the project. That was two to three years ago: the darn thing keeps on working. Ha! I’m now ironing out some minor challenges.
All the best to you and yours.

Thanks Becky, It’s just the tail end of some test crops. I think I’ll need a ladder to pick the corn. Part of the work brief I set myself was:
(1) It must be ‘dirt cheap’
(2) Water efficient
(3) Foolproof to be operated by anyone (even me!)
(4) etc
Anyway, I gave myself five weeks to test some seeds

, but raised gardens are minimum work and provide good returns.

and now this one in pebbles: they’re tough little critters. My wife prefers Iceberg lettuces, but I don’t mind these at all. Besides, they’re good for your innards 👍.

I’d left a second batch of basil too long in the pot, so I split the pot on either side and transplanted the whole lot into a hole in their final grow bed. They’re also doing well.
Oak leaf lettuce.
Collected oak leaf lettuce seeds blow all over the place. We’ve found seedlings growing in the lawn,

(2.0 in., 5.0 c.m) somewhere else, so there’s little waste.
Sweet basil.
We used the same procedure with one batch of basil seedlings. Though individual, or small groups, of seedlings of 2.0 in. (5.0 cm) height, while tricky, can be transplanted from a soggy clump.

an elongated hole, in their final grow bed.
Spring onions.
Spring onions grow well in groups, though their sizes can vary, but that’s not a problem since the harvested crop can be easily cleaned using a (mild) jet setting on the garden hose. Undersized individuals can be transplanted into a hole

We grow most of our veggie seedlings from seeds using ‘the (bread) bag-seed-germination process’ (mini greenhouses). It’s now an efficient process, and it’s sometimes too efficient, producing so many young plants. The seedlings produced are then transplanted as a ‘soggy clump’ into a hole, or

one lemonade, to see if we can improve on the original purchase. We’ll see how it goes.

another tub, or somewhere else later on.
We’ve also got a guard ant taking care of one of the tubs 👍.
