His digs in the dogyard aren't really a problem, but thanks so much for the recipe for fixing them, that will come in handy, he's been digging near the fence in places and that must stop.<BR/>I just ducked out to the local large supermarket (Woolies) to see about buying a cheap garden hose. No fittings, just hose. Cheap hose. The only one they had was $19 with fittings - I need to split it and use it on some of the electronic Floyd the Flyer stopper wire. You used to be able to get just hose for about ten bucks.

No need to go too deep, 200 mm should do.<BR/><BR/>(2) Keep the spoil you have dug out.<BR/><BR/>(3) Do a rough volume calculation of the (i) width; (ii) length; and (iii) depth of the trench.<BR/><BR/>(4) Bury some spare bricks, roof tiles, old concrete offcuts, pavers and anything else in the trench which you want to dispose of which is reasonably solid.<BR/><BR/>(5) Buy a 20 Kg bag of Portland cement (or several, depending on the length of the trench) Allow $8per bag at Bunnings.<BR/><BR/>(6) Aim for a 5% volumetric cement dust component - i.e. if your trench volume (empty) is 200mm deep, by 300 mm wide, by 4 metres long, you have a volume of 0.24 cubic metres, then the cement dust component should be 5% of this, or 0.012 cubic metres, which happens to be 12 litres.<BR/><BR/>(7) Take a 1.25 litre Coke bottle (preferrably empty), and fill it up with the Portland cement dust. You will have to do this 10 times, to achieve the necessary volume rate.<BR/><BR/>(8) Mix the cement dust with the spoil retained in step (2).<BR/><BR/>(9) Once the spoil is tamped down around the hard stuff (see (4) above), water well.<BR/><BR/>(10) Floyd would be a miracle worker to be able to dig through this....Kaboomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678065310675687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-45278614078447733042009-02-21T14:57:00.000+10:002009-02-21T14:57:00.000+10:00MiniThat's it then.
