    AllPowers are great,, I have been working with them for years,, and also got the S2000 with the SP033 200W panels as my first Allpowers setup :-) still working great!
    Suggestion,,, take your laser level, and set it up to be 1 cm lower than that big rock,, and then take off one cm,, every day,, or you can each take off a cm. 🙂

    • @portugalitis
      @portugalitis  Před 24 dny +2

    Goodness G, green fingers indeed! Great result with the onions. Rather than trying to drill out the rocks could you not build a small deck over that area? You could even have a deck on 2 different levels to add interest. Bit concerned, G you don’t appear to have ear defenders, you may not be drilling but you are working right next the drilling!❤
