Another day – another plot!! š
I weeded & ‘cleaned’ out the dirt from the crushed raised bed and topped this one up.
It was a bit of a slow job, but worth saving the decent soil.
I got some sticks out of the big kindling box and a garden stake to make a nice neat plot – as opposed to my usual helter-skelter approach.
Liking it!
(So grubby!) I put in 4 rows of carrots and the rest in beetroot.
I also left a space at the end for a few more snow peas
I’ll put a little trellis at the end there once they grow up a bit.
To finish it off I salvaged the netting supports and popped the net over the plot. Because, you know, chickens!!!
Tomorrow I am hoping we get to drive over to Shearwater and pick up some fencing supplies. The start of the garden fence!
I have to remeasure and check their stock and how much we can fit in our trailer as I think I need about 20 sheets of corrugated iron!
Here is my plan…
This is sketch of how fence was before tree crushing.
I figured since we were making a new fence I might as well expand and put in a few more gates… gates that are wide enough for a wheelbarrow!!
Move the compost up against the shed and make three bays, and fill extra space with more raised beds.
I’ll do another sketch soon to explain how I want to build the fence. Basically it will be tin at the bottom and chicken wire at top. I think it will look better than what I just made it sound like!! š
Have a great Friday!!
Cheers!
