Thought I should give you a look around my garden. Last year, at the begining of Winter, I decided to turn a large portion of my yard into productive space. I had read an article about how to make a "no dig" garden in a Gardening Australia magazine and thought I can do that. I had access to manure and made enquires with local services to obtain tree mulch and grass clippings. The hardest thing to find was news paper, I robbed the neighbours, I took great piles of free local news papers from the shops untill I had enought to start. The only thing I needed to buy was Sugar Cane Mulch and Lucerne Mulch which is available at differing prices depending on how far you are prepared to travel for it. As I was working at the time it took me a couple of weeks to build the garden. In the picture is the 1st stage of what I had produced. The large tree is a Macadamia Nut which was there when we moved in 12 years ago and last year we got the biggest crop which we are still eating 10months on. There is a Mulberry tree there which hasen't produced anything after 2 years. My orange tree has flowered and should produce some fruit this year. There is still some silverbeet growing left over from last year. I will post another picture tomorrow and show you some more.
