queer cat person.
nerding out on plants, insects, sci-fi & whatever else grabs my brain and won't let go.
mad for moths, loopy for leafminers, & giddy about galls

also - rebar!
I regularly see concrete walls poured - either with wood formwork, or using cinderblocks. rebar grids and/or mesh are used.
seems it could fun to try as a masonry veneer. or a raised bed. but def not as a wall or building.

That is really, really cool.
I live in an area where you can technically overwinter tomatoes (most years. although powdery mildew usually does em in). Storage tomatoes sound like a fun option.

foul water drain = sanitary sewer connection?
this is so, so common with french drains in the US.
I'm working on re-doing a failed french drain, but there's no way I'm digging it myself. props for diy, it's a big project
