Good morning all


You really don't realise how deep that is until you see it laid out horizontally. When they did that it was the first time that I realised that the well was more than twice as deep as the length of my garden (60m). Everything is going great at the moment - I have been adjusting the programming to reduce watering times to each sector (there are 5) and only watering every other day. That still gives me 40% more water than before so my garden is greening up again. Today we have had our first rain for 4 weeks so that is welcome too.

Good Evening All


Steve It's not what I'm growing , it's the nature of my soil (or lack of it). My 2508 m2 plot is built entirely on sand and also is elevated compared to the rest of the condominium therefore drainage is wonderful. Also winter is the dry season so we go many weeks without rain even though day time temperatures may reach 30 C or more (sub tropical climate). I have a number of exotic palms, orchids and bromeliads that need humid conditions as well as young trees to establish. I also have Mangos, Avocado Pears and several varieties of Oranges and Lemons in addition to more unusual plants such as Guaparu and Uruku. I expect that our fig trees and coconut palms will also benefit from the added irrigation.
So as you can see from above, water is vital to maintaining my obsession with a garden (by the way the water is clean enough to use for the swimming pool too)

Rod, Oh yes, I remember your photos of the garden now. Some people love gardening and some, like me, don't, enjoy being in one though.
My wife has been trying to get our front and back gardens into good shape for a few years now and has not succeded, really not surprised as she has killed every indoor plant we have ever owned.

DC, I've been expecting Mac1 to fly past me, that new box of his is mighty indeed.

Hi Apis. A quick back of an envelope calculation reckons you're about 90 days behind dmc_1970, and currently outputting at 70 days per week. The signature should change your rank to green when you get within 7 days of overtaking, I hope, so please give it until Wednesady ish. If it doesn't (and I'll keep an eye on it myself) then you have spotted a bug. I think (hope) that the "what the ranks will be in 7 days" calculation is applied to all team members, but there might be some kind of issue for those with zero current output.

Another annoyance is the fact that you can't do a comparison with currently inactive members. This has been on the todo list (thanks to Rod Peel) for about 18 months. I believe I fixed the "divide by zero" problem, but I couldn't work out a good way of creating a usable drop down selector with 600 names in it. I made a start, but got distracted. Something to do in the autumn when I've moved house.

Thanks Apis. I'm pretty sure it's the predictor that's wrong. It gives the same answer for 42 years as it does for 42.9 (i.e. 4 days). It looks like it's dropping the decimal fraction. I'll see if I can fix that tonight.
