Arizona Chickens

[CaroleW]

Nice thunderstorms this morning - probably for everyone wherever you are in AZ. Took the opportunity this morning while the ground is stell saturated to extend my trench to the new monsoon garden bed (yet to be planted - I'm "planting the water" first). I also sump pumped the water out of barrel - Between yesterday and today 100 gallons just from the barrel - there's more than that in tubs or elsewhere in a couple more cut down barrels.

The trench now takes water from half the pole barn roof out about 20+ feet and keeps it from running THRU the pole barn (no floor, just dirt, so there are some gullies forming after monsoons). The other half+ goes to the Lazy River thru the Chicken Run and into the Lazy Garden.

You've probably posted pictures before but I would love to see your setup.

And yes, thunder woke my entire household. Lol

Power staying on is tricky during the monsoon storm's. The electricity was on last night, but I wasn't able to get online. Google wouldn't let me go anywhere.

Here's the latest pics on my Pole Barn trench, Lazy River, Lazy Garden and Chicken Run improvements. This is all linked together in the same sytem so improvements serve parts of the system.

No external pips. Not 100% sure what an internal pip looks like.
