Progress on the Kitchen Garden...


A couple more afternoons digging up weeds and I almost have a clear kitchen garden!



This revealed more garden beds and the remnants of an irrigation system:


With the end of the weeds in sight, I now have to decide how to arrange the new garden beds. The ones that are already in place don't seem to make a lot of sense to me, though I admit that being new to all this, there may be very good reason for them to be configured the way they are.

I think that it might be easiest to start with 8 rectangular beds, raised about 20cm. This is not only the easiest to build but the easiest to work with to start.

Then I need to find some soil to fill them with, preferably from somewhere I was going to excavate anyway, add compost, manure, MycoGold and rockdust.

Then it might be time to plant something...
