PLANTING
Finally planted out a Romanesco BROCCOLI in the LOWER STEP BED with arcs of GARLIC (Valiant and Monaro) and SILVERBEET surrounding it.
NOTES:
I'm having a real problem with grasses in the soil this season. Don't know if it's just that the rain brought them all out, but seriously, such an issue. Might have to put the chooks back on the PLUM-STONE.
FUTURE THOUGHTS:
A thought for the future: what if I let the backyard go back to lawn again. Keep the chook tunnels and the fruit trees with a circle of space around each fruit tree for the chooks to 'fertilise'. Solidify the tunnels with fence metal (also straighten them), and put a wooden seat on sections so one can sit and bask in the sunshine (also shade for the chooks, potential growing spaces for seedlings). The front yard would be the all-year-around growing area, with the backyard the contemplation space. The fruit trees have been good there, but not great, and probably won't ever be great. Trim them down? It's a thought...
