Wayne and Viarnne discuss low water gardens and Wayne shares his ‘show and tell’ on radio… clever Wayne! Horticulturalist extraordinaire Wayne Williams shares his observations of some interesting species from his own garden. Pics to follow soon…
These pictures show the construction of a new compact Garden-bed rebuilt after the installation of a 25,000 Litre tank which wiped out the existing garden bed.
First, the excess topsoil from the old garden bed is removed
Organic material is added including blood and bone
The drip irrigation system is installed and
Mulch laid over the whole bed after seedlings are planted
The bed is doing extraordinally well although it is a bit congested.
After six weeks we are harvesting zucchini and the cucumbers are almost ready as well !!
