Adding to the Hugelkultur

Hello!
Guess what? Today wasn’t Tuesday. It was Wednesday. I only found that out tonight. Generally that wouldn’t be a problem, only I missed my doc appointment this morning. I hadn’t forgotten it… I was just living in the wrong day!! I’ll have to call them tomorrow to apologise.

So… while being oblivious to the day of the week, I strolled outside to do some less strenuous outside work.

I thought I would go around the yard a bit and put a few more barrow loads of composting materials onto the Huggle Monster.
Quite a lot to be raked up around the place!

There are a lot of gaps of course… I think when I build another one (I think I might…) I will make the effort to put more fill in during the early layers. Just a bit easier I think.

So I was just stuffing everything in everywhere.
I found some lovely dodgy slimy smelly kelp in a bag!

I also picked up some of the grass clippings that were in a couple of piles around the place – I’ve learned to add that slowly into the compost and not all at once!!

I also found a bag of seaweed grass so that went on too!

I was considering going into the paddock to collect some cow poo, but… I wasn’t feeling motivated enough.

Anyway – its coming along. 🙂

While I was washing the chooks water dish, these two cheeky galahs came down and helped themselves to the wheat!!
They’ve been out on the raspberry patch frame every morning waiting for some nosh! Its so lovely. We had lots of galahs in Canberra but these are the first at our place here. I have some wild bird seed and plans to make them a feeder… (its on the list)
I was able to get reasonably close too! I spooked them a little but they were brave enough to come waddling back.

Still got lovely lush lettuce!

And I am just picking the tomatoes that we need mostly… Still some lovely cherry tomatoes out there.

I did a bit of a round of the garden with my macro lens… just because I was in the mood 🙂

Thats all from me!!
Hope you know what day it is and enjoy it regardless!
Cheers!
