Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

yeah probably needed it. i could prob go a dwarf one.

i should have used my beach cart for manure, collapsible sack truck thing with small wheels = more rolling resistance.

Re: Night Shift

yeah i got it home eventually, might get another bag. i got one of these things that goes on a rolling esky, it's pretty handy but more effort than i remembered.

i could put a dwarf fruit tree in a half wine barrel, still thinking about it. got one that i was fixing up then picked up a better one

Re: Night Shift

i was thinking of doing it with a wheelbarrow tray someone was selling cheap. decided it was bigger than what i wanted though.

looked at attaching cart to bike.. etc. only need to cart fertilizer about 1km, i;ve even carried it before. should just take my big cart to bunnos, lock up underground if i need to
