Plans for Saturday

I have the minister's teenage son coming around to help me do some work on Saturday afternoon. A young strong back, I hope! I remember him as slim and sweet-faced, but that was when he was 13 and boys change a lot as they grow. Anyway.

Prep

• dig up galangal out of lounge room vegepod
• acquire chainsaw/lopper
• acquire wooden pallets
• spray Slasher weedkiller under frangipani

plans for front lounge bed/tunnel

• dig trench for sugarcane
• chop up sugarcane for planting
• plant sugarcane & galangal

plans for chook yard

• take out sunflower branches
• rake up chook deep litter
• dig up fig, put in black box
• make platform for chook feeder
• dig hole for mulberry along boundary line
• dig hole for kumquat along fenceline (inside)
• (dig hole for apricot, lychee, apple along outside fenceline, staggered with kumquat)

plans for fruit trees

• trim dual stone fruit down significantly
• dig out dead apricot

other things

• chip all the waste
• make a compost

No idea if I'll get it all done - I only have him for a couple of hours, but going to give it a red hot go!
