Also took another step for the #pandemicpond filter barrel
The pipe from the pump just entered the 2" PVC "hole" as I wasn't sure how it would all work.
Now that things good, I attached the pipe permanently ($12 for the three pieces of the adapter). Ill cut it down to size at the next rainfall.
This will also make the anti-siphon valve work.
meanwhile... in the backyard... 🤯

🐼 The climate conscious bandit eats leaves and shoots! 🔫🍃🌳
some reasons for eating tree leaves (and using trees for staple crops too):
🌳 yummy! 😋
🌳 can forage wild for free 🕊️
🌳 connect to nature 💚
🌳 very nutritious - leaves of woody plants are on average much higher in key nutrients than annual vegetables 🥗
🌳 woody plants, especially trees, sequester carbon! ⤵️
🌳 they improve soil health and reduce erosion 🪱
🌳 climate resilience 🌍
🌳 trees are more resilient to fluctuating weather and climate conditions than annual crops 🌥️
🌳 they're better at soaking up and storing rain - important with increasingly unpredictable rainfalls 💦
🌳 increase water quality 💧
🌳 habitat 🐦
🌳 pollination 🐝 🦋
🌳 less susceptible to diseases and pests, especially in diverse systems (not monocrops) 🐞
🌳 reduced need for pesticides ☠️
🌳 they provide shade ☂️
🌳 less labour intensive 🏖️
🌳 great diversity, increases biodiversity and diversity of foods 🌈
🌳 they promote longterm thinking and concern for the ecosystem 🧓🤝👶
🌳 can be important culturally, especially to indigenous peoples 🧑🌾
🌳 there are species suitable to all climates and conditions where food is grown 🏜️ ❄️ ⛰️ 🌲
