Half were bought at garage sales (booth sales), and half were bought new. rochefleuriegardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783773632775842680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-41904150454216786902013-08-27T12:16:16.359-04:002013-08-27T12:16:16.359-04:00I love the rill, and I love the watering cans as w...I love the rill, and I love the watering cans as well. We have one very similar that we use on the allotment. We have to water that by hand as well, and fill from a metel tank some yards away (not as attractive as your one. The plan is to put in a couple of water butts that take the water from the shed roof.

We've had rain and more rain, haven't needed to water at all. <br /><br />I haven't seen Hestercombe, that Furry mentions, but there is a nice rill at Naumkeag that supplies the Blue Steps. Naumkeag is worth a visit. Sheri Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-72386752318134871182013-08-26T09:02:56.537-04:002013-08-26T09:02:56.537-04:00Beautiful.

As soon as I saw your picture of the rill I thought of Hestercombe, where Luytens laid out two parallel rills, just about the same size as yours. I wonder now if they are also part of an innovative drainage system like yours. Great work fitting your place into the landscape.The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890786265475429448.post-30296747945689873302013-08-25T19:07:07.900-04:002013-08-25T19:07:07.900-04:00A lot of work, and a big payoff.
