I don't think it's for dog poop. It doesn't smell and there are no marks on the sides of the cylinder. After I cut the grass, I'll try to dig a little bit of it up to see if I can get a better idea of what it is. I'll also get a long stick to see how deep it is. What is a valve well?
So I'll be starting my own permaculture farm on 2 acres, but have stumbled on this strange thing that is filled with water. Does anyone have any idea as to what this is?
Thanks Renate I don't have any livestock to worry about. I'm just wanting to take advantage of our clay soil's nutrients, and I think that comfrey mines that stuff up and breaks up the clay. So I'm guessing that the Texas sun won't be too hot for it.
Sam McCoy (and anyone else living in the area), how well does comfrey tolerate our extreme heat and winter? Where is the best placement for it (North, South, East, West of the house)? What time is best to plant, fall or spring? Planning on getting the Bocking 4 variety
I'm not a permie yet, but I want to be. Just bought Gaia's Garden on Kindle. I know that there is a meetup in Plano called DFW Permaculture & Sustainability.
