my garden — 1 year ago
I have a big rambly garden. It’s never going to be a perfect landscaped design garden, and that’s not what I want anyway – but I want to reduce the watering it needs through more efficient irrigation, better mulching, check out whether a bore would be a good idea, collect more rainwater, look into recycling grey water for the garden, and figure out how to combine all these measures into an integrated watering system… any tips or ideas anyone???
I have lots of fruit trees, a big circular vegetable and herb garden, lots of Australian natives, and some cottagey type flowers and ground covers. There’s a walkthrough fernery and a conservatory. Bougainvilleas and lots of hanging baskets full of flowers and ferns and fuschias. Wandering paths everywhere made of old red bricks. You can get lost in my garden.
There is one large corner of the garden that I havent made into a garden yet – I’d like it to be a Japanese-style meditation garden overlooking the vegetable circle. And I’d like to build a really nice-looking henhouse and yard and get some hens again to convert kitchen scraps into fresh organic eggs.
