Preparing
How to green manure clover?
- Mow the clover early spring – fairly high
- Plant established plants and trim around them fairly low
- End of season, mow low and plough in
ESPALIER-DUALSTONE (in front triangle yard)
- Scrape back hay
- Lay down comfrey, Lucerne, chook poop
- Sprinkle potash, dolomite lime, superphosphates
- Dig it in (hoe/mattock)
- Smooth it out
- Water with banana liquid
- put hay back over
- protect from chooks… (flyscreens in A-line, add wire at ends to keep chooks out – risk: someone tries to climb up on top of them – may require a post in the middle of the ends)
Planting out
Tomatoes: at 10cm plant out – potash, dolomite lime, in ESPALIER-DUALSTONE
Eggplants: - potash, dolomite lime, plant out at four leaf stage?
Corn: - DRIVEWAY PATCH. Add worm castings, mature chook poop, water with banana liquid.
Beans: up next to the house?
Sweet Peas:
What to plant in AVO-SHED now that it’s been readied?
- Leafy greens in the back
- Eggplants in the front
- bush beans in the front
- Radishes?
To plant:
Lettuces?
Capsicums/Peppers? – plant out at four leaf stage
TO DO
Sharpening the clipper/shears?
Watering system to front beds (a clip-on watering system would be great)
- Similar to the setup in the back: but with a snap-on component? Then snap-ons with valves for all along the watering system
Mulch delivery
- Get someone to put the loads on the paths and the garden
- Probably not going to happen before November
TO DO before surgery:
- chicken tunnels
