Faber Forest - 16 October 2024
Busy day, I successfully got my new large storage bin into the car and to the field. I set it up there, and it works perfectly. Super cool. I mapped the wastewater pipeline, which runs under the field, so I know not to plant trees there. I’ll go back on Friday and build the trolley, which is already loaded in the car. Successful trip. Next, I’m going to make some fabric labels to go on the sticks I’ve been putting in the ground to indicate the oil pipe, sewage pipe, and the tree layout. Otherwise I’ll soon get confused in the sea of sticks that is now my field.
After all that, with the trees laid out, I’ll be pre-digging the holes. I still need to figure out how to protect the hole once it's open… or rather protect the wildlife and people that might fall in it. Maybe it's not such an issue if the hole is wider than it is deep… Maybe the stones I dig out can be a border around the hole to mark it out. Maybe I'll put a stick in the middle of the hole with a flag on it… Yes, I think I have a plan. Someone could still fall in, but it’s mitigated, they shouldn’t be walking on my field anyway. I’m most worried about the deer and their skinny legs - would they break? Plan formed.
Checklist
- Storage bin built
- Pipe lines mapping with sticks

Hi there I'm Charlotte from London and I am a Millennial hobbiest. By that I mean I love making things, for both the process and the outcomes. On this blog I talk about all the things I'm working on and learning each week. On some projects I will go into a bit more detail on what I did and my experience through it.
Some facts about me:
- I am not a perfectionist, preferring to complete something than to attempt to make something flawless.
- I am in a constant cycle of building up inspiration, executing the ideas, then winding down to reflect and regenerate.
- I am interested in almost anything that can be made from scratch using nature / natural materials.
