Hello everyone :D
The sun is out at it was even above 20 degrees! Spud wasn't out as I was at school. I am going to try to get some living salads to put in the outdoor enclosure and will plant some seed trays.

20 degrees and the radiators were on at school! Then a wasp came in the window so everyone freaked out and shut the window when it left. Not the most comfortable temperature when your in a classroom full of teenagers and there's no air flow.

We had a cloudier and colder day today but still dry so that was a bonus. Not warm enough for Lola to go out when I got home.
Our radiators in school are off now the last fuel stock has gone, they won't see heat again until next October - at least.
Lidl had some good living salads for 89p last weekend. I almost bought some but the label said they may contain mustard leaves and I want to check that they are OK for torts before I buy. I have quite a lot of dandies this year after scattering the fluffy seeds I picked from plants last year. Lucky Lola!!

ok guys, i need a solution and all i can think is buying a water pump. (mr ed, can you offer any solution? I've reached my limits at D.I.Y :/.

* problem, cant get enough water pressure to feed machine.


i have tried changing 'quick clip' to jubilee clips to increase flow.

also opened up as much interaly of tap as i can

had drilled small holes on top of barrel to improve air flow.


as is gravity fed, will raising hight of water buff help?


any and all advice apreciated :) ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1462567879.232614.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1462567903.016568.jpg
