Cleared space in the polytunnels for the 1m3 IBC containers

Image
  These should be arriving tomorrow afternoon. They will supply a cubic meter of water to each polytunnel topped up by water harvested from the roof or our Irish Water supply. The blue barrels collect the water from the polytunnels and repurposed vape batteries will power a windscreen wiper pump top gradually move the water :)

Added some active wormy compost from home to our Drumgeely compost

Image
  I took two of the hanging planters and emptied them into our compost bin along with the soil from the 6 or so giant marigolds.  I also added compost from home which has lots of worms!

Got temperature and humidity sensor working again in polytunnel

   So I've been using slan-031 LoRaWAN sensor for a while at home in Tola Park. But put it in a wooden box a deployed it in one of the Drumgeely polytunnels earlier today. I also changed the graph at MondoDB to show slan-031 data rather than slan-008 data.
