The Saskatoons this year is so big and juicy, they came in late so while others are on the end of their harvest we just got started a week ago.
Technically its not our Saskatoons, we are renting this property and it came with a 150 mature bushes.
I noticed when we moved here that the saskatoon bushes in the west were taller and thicker than the ones in the east. The ones closer to the house in the west more so than further downhill.
This picture was for part 2, Post where i talked about what plans we have and so on. But the reason i included it is to show you the grey water set up.
So this tube ends and the grey water from the house soaks into the ground. I noticed that the saskatoons to the left of the grey water outlet are the bigger, healthier looking ones.
Im 160 cm and they are quite a lot taller than i am
These are to my shoulder and im slightly to the right of the grey water outlet.
These are further to the right (east) and some barely to my waist. As you can see there are gaps in the rows and these saskatoon bushes are not doing so well.
My thinking is, by looking at how the land slopes - is that the good looking saskatoons are getting water from the grey water outlet. When we asked our landlords if we could set up a purifying system - the pond with cattails etc - they said that it wasnt necessary, that water goes into the ground.
I dont think they realize that they been watering their saskatoons with everything they flush down the drain..
