not entirely random list of things

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
-
