A rural garden on 10 acres
Rural garden surrounding house, pool studio and veggie patch. This unfenced garden is open to all manner of wild life; birds, kangaroos, rabbits, lizards and the occasional snake.
Goldfield Sedimentary soils, skeletal stony slates and sandstone shot through with granite proximal to Mt Alexander.
All soil has been imported premium topsoil, mushroom mulch, compost, pea straw, council mulch and dynamic lifter. All household vegetable waste is composted.
Planting terraces made up by using rock found on the block. I plant everything and see what grows and sometimes a microclimate will support a surprise and I replant;after plants fail I move on.
I copy what I see growing in gardens in the area, I propagate as much as possible.
In 2021 I installed a tank and pumps to access water from a dam at the bottom of the block.
