    Uk weather and drainage, flooding

    So I live in the south of the UK and the weather has been near constant rain for what feels like months. I have 2 Eglu (one big, one small) coops which are great for keeping the birds dry and easy to clean. These are both housed in a 3m x 3m run with an overhead roof. The sides of the coop are...

For the past couple of days I’ve been noticing wetter...

    Rain diverter works too well

    We have a rain barrel that we got for free so we wanted to be able to utilize it for our garden. We purchased a rain diverter that hooks up to the downspout to catch the rain. It works great...too great. Everytime it rains a lot the barrel overflows. We have to hook a hose up to it and let...

    How to "fix" a swamp??

    With the recent storms we have had, dumping large amounts of rain in a short time, our ground is a soaked sponge, and our runs look like swine pens. Not only mucky, but stinky, and the flys and gnats are everywhere. Thinking about layering with a thick layer of sawdust to absorb moisture and...
