0:00:51 > 0:00:53Hi!
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Welcome back to the seaweed farm. Look, my first crop!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- They're lovely and wet and slimy. - Not for long, Muck.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- We're going to dry it. - ALL: Dry it?!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Yes. If you leave seaweed sitting around wet,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11it goes all rotten and smelly. Poo-wee!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14But if you dry it out, it keeps for ages.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18I've discovered a really good way to dry seaweed.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20A seaweed-drying tunnel.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22ALL: Wow-ee!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26That's a brilliant idea, Bob. How does it work?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, it's a tunnel, you put seaweed in it and it dries.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Fantastic!
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- I'll mark where it goes. Scoop, you dig it out.- No prob, Bob.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Dizzy, I'll need concrete. - Coming up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Muck, go back to the yard and fetch some materials.- Muck's on the job!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Can we build it?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46ALL: Yes, we can!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hello, Mr Beasley. What are you doing?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Oh, hello, Muck. Er, I'm... I'm trying to...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05THUD! ..dry me washing, but, er,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I've got myself in a right tangle!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Do you know other ways of drying laundry?- Maybe that's like...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15drying seaweed!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Wait there, Mr Beasley.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22You know Bob's brilliant seaweed-drying tunnel idea?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I've had an idea too -
0:02:23 > 0:02:28to help Mr Beasley build a special LAUNDRY-drying tunnel.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31A LAUNDRY-drying tunnel?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Yes. It will be just like Bob's seaweed-drying tunnel, except...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- it'll dry laundry instead. - That's a brilliant idea!
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Don't tell anyone. I want it to be a surprise.- Ha-ha! OK.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Er, Bob, what's the first thing you build for the tunnel?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- Well, Muck, you put down a concrete foundation.- Concrete foundation.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Then you build six pillars. - Six pillars.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Right, er, I'm off to help... Mr Beasley with his washing.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Concrete foundation? But...I haven't got a concrete mixer.- Oh, well, er...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13six pillars then.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Muck, is this tunnel going to be big enough?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- I've got a lot of clothes. - Six pillars - that's what Bob said.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I'll be back soon.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm back, Bob!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- What's this bit? - The wooden frame, Muck.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- It supports the tunnel.- Brilliant!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Psst! Muck...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Bob didn't use all the wood.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50You can have these extra bits.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Thanks, Dizzy. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Ooh, me thumb!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Ooh! Do we have to build it out of wood?- Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Bob's tunnel's made of wood. - I keep getting splinters!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Why don't you wear gloves? - Brilliant idea, Muck!
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- Here I am!- We've nearly finished, Muck. The seaweed goes on this mesh
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- of freshly cut bamboo. - Freshly cut bamboo.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The tunnel is made out of recycled plastic.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Recycled plastic.- The sun shines through the plastic
0:04:43 > 0:04:48- and the seaweed gets really hot. - Really hot.- Finally,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50we turn on this solar-powered fan.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It blows air on the tunnel,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54and the seaweed dries.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55The laundry dr...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And the SEAWEED dries.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Thanks, Bob.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06Right, there's some bamboo left, but no more plastic. And don't forget,
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- you need a solar-powered fan. - Where do I get a solar-powered fan?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I wonder!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, phew!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35It was very nice of you to offer to dry our laundry, young Muck.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- In you go!- Oh, careful, Mr Beasley.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41My favourite shirt's in there.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I do hope it won't be overly creased.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I've got so much lovely wet slimy seaweed to dry,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- it won't all fit.- Don't worry.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55The tunnel will dry it so fast, we'll have time to do lots of loads.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59'Muck to Bob! Muck to Bob!'
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Hello, Muck.- Can you come to Mr Beasley's yard?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I've got something to show you. - On my way!
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- Oh, dearie me! Me fan's not strong enough.- It's blocked,
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- take some laundry out!- But I need to dry all me clothes right away!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Perhaps it's just drying slowly. Shall we check?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25RIPPING
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- Oh, Bernard, that's your favourite shirt!- Gracious me!
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- I told you we shouldn't have used splintery wood, Muck!- Splintery?!
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- Dearie me!- I thought this laundry device was safe, young Muck.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Oh, it's all green!- The bamboo - it's staining everything!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Oh, no!- It's a catastrophe!
0:06:49 > 0:06:55- Oh, Muck, that looks great!- That's fantastic!- That looks brilliant!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59It isn't. It's meant to be a laundry-drying tunnel,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02but it's not drying laundry, it's ruining it!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Oh!
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I don't understand, Bob. I made it exactly the same as your tunnel.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Why didn't it work?- Because a tunnel that works for drying seaweed,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18doesn't work for drying laundry.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Quite so, Bob.- If Mr Beasley wanted to dry this much laundry,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- the tunnel would need to be a lot longer.- Like- I- said!
0:07:25 > 0:07:30Splintery wood is OK for seaweed, but clothes should be treated
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- a bit more gently.- Oh, Bob, I thought I'd had a brilliant idea.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Oh, Muck, you just needed to think a bit more
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- about what laundry needs to get dry. - Think a bit more.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Hmm...
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Muck, you've turned Mr Beasley's long line...
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Into lots of little lines!
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- I'll be able to hang everything on that!- Hmm. Let's...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04stick it on a pole.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07If it's high up, the wind can get to it easily.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Oh, brilliant! Any more ideas, Muck?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Muck's special laundry-drying machine looks beautiful!
0:08:31 > 0:08:36The dryer turns in the wind, so the wind gets to every bit of laundry,
0:08:36 > 0:08:41and it all dries quickly. It's the best laundry-drying machine ever!
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Wow, dry seaweed, loads of it! - It'll keep for ages.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Now you can use the dry seaweed whenever you want.- Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55For cooking, turning into glue, for medicine, or soap.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Seaweed's got lots of uses.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It's not just seaweed that keeps for ages if you dry it out,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04you can dry out all sorts of things.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Herbs, flowers, different kinds of fruit.- Pineapple?
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Yes, you get slices of dried pineapple in tropical fruit mix.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I could make a PINEAPPLE-drying machine. Or even...
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- a tomato-drying machine. - Those are brilliant ideas!
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- A mango-drying machine. - A rhubarb dryer.- A parsnip dryer.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I can't wait to get started!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Wow! Ha-ha!
