desertSMART Gardens Challenge – brief round-up
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week, 15 people got together and put in a vege garden bed at Frances’ house. It was a no-dig garden which required us to fill a walled garden bed with manure and dirt, however that wasn’t just it. The bed was prepared with a lining of corrugated iron and black plastic, to allow drainage. This was then covered with shade cloth and pebbles and rubble was wrapped in shade cloth. Then started the layering, mixing, watering and general soil making with the original dirt, straw and cow manure. It was a fun day and all participants had a great time with people whose name they didn’t even know. It was a fantastic example of people just getting on with the job. We’re looking to do this again and make it a regular thing.
