I send a message to everyone in this group about the party but havent heard back from many of you. Besides that if you would like to participate in a tour on that day starting in the morning, let me know.

Comment by Dave & Yvonne Story on February 20, 2012 at 9:09am: Sherri and others in the Phoenix area:

Last year there was talk of a March tour up there in the Phoenix area. This year one of you talked about an April tour. Is anything being planned?

My thought is you don't need a big beautiful system to plan and make the tour happen. Let me know, I would like to come-up for your tour.

Comment by Holly Curtis on February 19, 2012 at 10:59pm: Nice John. Cause to celebrate indeed.

Comment by John Malone on February 18, 2012 at 8:47pm: Yes. All those rocks most definitely came out of the hole, and I found each one of them with the point of the pick. Most of them I hit several times with the pick before they were dislodged. Now I've got to figure out what to do with all the spare dirt and rocks. Ah, it can sit there for a while.
Now for the fun part: constructing the fish tank and grow beds. It's going to be a good weekend.

Comment by Sheri Schmeckpeper on February 18, 2012 at 8:14pm: I'm truly impressed, John! Did all those rocks on the left come out of that hole?

David, I've only seen how Rhiba grows wheat grass. The burlap sounds really interesting.It sounds like you're getting really creative!

Comment by Jacques L. on February 18, 2012 at 6:19pm: I bow to you sir!

That be one mighty fine hole!

Comment by John Malone on February 18, 2012 at 5:54pm: It's D.O.N.E. DONE! i.e. The hole for the fish tank. That took a lot of work, but it's finally deep enough. The fish tank is 6'x4'x3' so the hole is at least 8'x5'x3', or nearly 3' deep. Here's a couple of photos and a link to a YouTube video.

Comment by Maynhia Stott on February 18, 2012 at 2:51pm: I'm testing my siphon and noticed that before it kicks on there's a little leak, but once it gets going the leak stop. Should I worry abt it?

Comment by David Schwinghamer on February 18, 2012 at 1:06pm: Has anyone tried growing wheatgrass like Local Roots? They had a nifty system of using burlap to carry water down ramps through flats of wheatgrass.

Is anyone trying to grow things in horizontal tubes using only bottled fish emulsion? I broke down my old and very prosperous bin system using fish emulsion and sprayers running all day. Ive got this new tube system running 30 on and 15 off. Im not seeing much growth going on.
