Preparing the ground for the nursery garden


Today we started work on zone 1 or what I call the nursery garden. It was entirely covered in brambles and brush from the young trees we cut down in the area a few months ago.

This is where I plan to do most of the plant propagation and where I intend to hold my stock of medicinal herbs. All the things I do most frequently will be done here. 

When Danny turns up with the mini digger we'll double dig beds all the way down this area. 


This is how the area looked this morning.

As you can see with Bam Bam's help and a strimmer we made short work of clearing it.

No planting today but I think you can see we had a productive day.
