Back at it with the #poolpond this morning!
Finished placing the 4-12" stones in the bottom of the filter up to just above the milk crates. Also became a little worried about proper distribution of inflow water so I added a fourth milk crate to expand the void space.
Next layer will be 15-30cm of 1" drain rock.
Getting there!

Excellent.

the plumbing for the bog/wetland filter is nearly complete.
The last item I needed was some 6" PVC pipe for a cleanout. It'll go down through the milk crate so I can send a vaccuum hose down there.
It isn't easy to find this size at stores, but a friend of a friend came through with some free cutoffs. They'll work perfectly. Probably $50 worth of pipe! I only had to buy the plug ($40).
Befriend a tradesperson! 😀

The kind man in the giant front loader at the gravel pit "gently dribbled" 820kg/1800lbs of river rock into the trailer. EV mileage not great. 😂
Was hoping for more rocks on the larger size, but it will all be useful for the #poolpond and #pandemicpond
And the price is right! $40
