) . A LEO would probably think, "Gee, that's odd behavior for a ground hog. Hmm..." - and then hit the "store waypoint" button on his/her handy/dandy GPS device for later observation (and possibly on-the-ground observation).
It was my friend I talked to him today. I didn’t mention that I put a 100lbs rock in one of his holes hehe.Was this your buddy's work, or some random stranger?
Did you leave a young plant in one of his dug holes (and fill it in with appropriate soil) just to screw with the person, lol?
The helicopters are fierce enough around here that a grouping of 32 plants would probably be raided. Especially since the grower has dug that many holes and left them open (overnight? couple of days? a week? who knows...
- read me the riot act because my grow was "stinking up the entire building, including the three businesses in the front of it, and the parking lot, and you need to either stop growing or DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SMELL!!!" This probably took a good 15 minutes - and, afterwards, he walked around front to one of the businesses, bought his Sunday newspaper, came back, got into his cruiser, and left. Yes, I got (very) lucky that day.
That was very informative, I like that set up thanks for sharing.Oh, to be rid of the helicopters <SHAKES FIST TOWARDS SKY>, lol. Years ago (and in another jurisdiction), I once had a LEO - who was a K9 officer, with dog
People don't get lucky breaks like that when helicopters are involved. In fact, someone from the local television station's news department generally shows up to watch.
LMFAO at the 100-pound rock. You know, he'll probably expect you to help him with that (actually, he'll probably just backfill that hole when he digs a new one, I suppose) - but it's still funny.
Re: Carrying water... IF you have a source of flowing water (river or a decent stream/creek), you can go "pioneer style" and set up a water-powered pump of sorts. It won't lift water a huge amount, but it can lift it a bit (and go quite a ways on a more or less horizontal run). Like a hydraulic ram, I guess, but simple.
I think it's okay to post on-topic Youtube videos in regular threads (staff/moderators: If not, I apologize for doing so). Here's one that illustrates it. And, as simple as it is, they made them even simpler 200+ years ago, lol. Oh, and if you follow the build illustrated in the video, don't use black iron pipe/fittings (FFS!) - that's for gas line and will, of course, rust. The comparable water pipe material is galvanized (and expensive) instead of merely painted black. Copper, plastic, et cetera works fine. Actually, the black iron will work, but it seems silly to use it on something that'll be wet 100% of the time (and that you might wish to use for... many years).
The simplest version I can think of would be a funnel placed with the big end placed upstream and a hose attached to the small end. That won't flow much (depending on the water source's current/flow rate), but it does illustrate how little is really needed. If you want to get fancy, you could set up a valve operated by a solar-powered timer, either watering your plants directly or filling up a reservoir. Lots of possibilities from "put together in a few minutes" to the... insane.
