Above..
3 main 1.5m x 4m beds.. 3 trailer pile of horse manure.
Above..
About day 8 now 6 raised beds in, windscreen up, irrigation built
(may need adjusting), spuds in on left with peas against fence,
beans down right side, sweetcorn spuds & butternut pumkin
at far end, beetroot in bed this side, brassicas in middle, lettuce
etc.. to go in the bed covered by screen up top and the very top
I dont know yet.. over 50% of these beds are 50% well matured
horse manure.. now its starting to get "the look".
Re:
days.. I have estimated working on full days so this is approximate..
its taken a lot. 1 problem is the short warratahs holding the
edging in place are coming loose in places and may need work to
solid things up.

from the bottom. |
 |
| Starting
to sort out my paths.. they were very overgrown with weeds
(most still are but I'm working on it). |
 |
Mid
Garden.. the Brocolli Patch.. nearly 6 square meters of
it!
You
might notice the walkway beside the bucket is full of weeds
still. |
 |
Neki's
Plot on right.. the bank I intend to help him find something
to cover & the swimming pool which is shared between
us (actually we plan some sort of tunnel house or 2 in here
or something like.
Still
a lot of development to be done. |

Water
Supply
50mm
pipe goes under the road on diagonal.
The
other end was much tighter to crawl through dragging a
pipe.
|
|
Pipe
goes up the hill about 20 metres. |
|
The
dam.. chicken wire over intake. |
|
My
dodgy spillway.
Really..
I want to rebuild the dam at some stage.. deeper &
more resistant to floods.
