stinking duck mud
« on: August 12, 2011, 09:37:24 pm »
I don't know what to do with all the smelly duck bowls and pond water at the moment. I normally put it in the tunnel and on the veg plot but everything is saturated. I can't just tip the over as the "lawn" is bad enough after the floods and ducks having digging parties...despair - shall I take it indoors and tip it into the loo  ::) ??? despair , what do others do who don't have running water nearby? :&> :&> :&>

we are lucky enough to have to have quite a large garden, so I kind of spread it out...
Then it has chance to dry out abit without one area becoming as wet & sticky as the duck run!

Not sure I'd put it down the loo, our drains etc wouldn't cope here. (took the U-bend thing off the kitchen sink the other day as it wasn't unblocking ... Bleugh!!!)

We have an overflow on the "pond" (bath!) but it soon blocks when we run the hose to clear the ducks' water and it just runs over the garden (and paths) til it eventually soaks away.  Or I get fed up of wet feet and dig it over to break up the clay.

Sorry, not much help for you there NFD, just sympathising :D
