Here’s some more photos of the vegi patch. The retic and weed matting is all finished on two of the beds, now we just have to buy the soil and we’re ready to start planting. We’ve used Josh Byrnes (he guy with the curly hair in Gardening Australia – Peter Cundall’s heir apparent) dripper system […]

Vegi Patch Update
Nathan has been working like a trooper and the vegi patch is progressing nicely. All of the beds have been pinned and the the retic is almost finished.

Espalier Plan

Vegi Plans
Last weekend we marked out the plan for our vegi patch. It will consist of 4 square beds making up a larger square. Each bed will be 7ft x 7ft (the length of a sleeper) with a 1m path between them.
