It's only a real storm if the BBC spends most of the morning broadcasting a video of a trampoline going for a ride down the street or some other activity that trampolines aren't supposed to do.

I have been trying for several weeks to find an opportunity to fix the leak in the greenhouse roof, but I can't because it's been persistently raining for over a month now. Everything is waterlogged, everything is rotting.

@happyborg It is. I'm worried this is becoming a new normal, given how wet it was this past summer. We've a very clay-heavy soil and it's just impossible to grow anything except, perhaps, rice and wasabi.

@jsbarretto you just reminded me. I remember my dad digging trenches in our back garden and laying clay pipes to provide drainage.

Not a large garden but he did it all by hand.

In the meantime, I have concocted a Rube Goldberg machine to catch and redirect the water.

@jsbarretto I don't know if it helps but you are supposed to be able to use CT1 underwater. I've not tried that, or asked it in the rain, but I used it to reseal the windows on my boat when I took them out to fix leaks.

@happyborg I have found a slightly less temporary (but still very temporary) solution.

@jsbarretto Josh, you should have used Rust instead to fix the memory leak, eh, I mean water leak in your greenhouse 😉
