The Almighty Falls First Year Of Green

There have been two repairs for the same problem to the main water line heading up the hill. The 3" flexible pipe was dented and sliced vertically and sprung powerful leaks.




















The spring this original water course was built for has been running fierce. It wasn't enough to make up for the powerful leaks ejecting water out of the rubberized system. It was enough to keep the pump cool.




















I have my theories. One of them involves a spring turning into a for real glacier in the deep cold above and below a huge pile of rocks with a rubber liner sandwiched in between.




















The first year of greenery is coming along nicely after it was dinged by the removal of a massive Black Walnut tree. They managed to keep it out of the Almighty Falls at least. Removing a Black Walnut from a freshly planted slope was worth it though. Their allelopathy is real.

A spring fed pond that never needs filling versus a for real glacier in the deep cold filling the entire bottom half, above and below a rubberized channel, the jury is still out. I will say my pile of rocks did not budge.

It'll keep me in pond scum for years to come.
