Our garden

Andrew and I would LOVE to grow our own veg, but thanks to the dogs peeing on everything it’s absolutely impossible. Then I stumbled across ‘Square Foot Gardening’ and it all became clear! Make containers and raise them off the ground!

Now it seems so simple! Andrew and I spent all weekend getting supplies, building boxes, getting the soil composition right (with compost, peat and vermiculite) and planting our little ¹/₁₀₀ acre of heaven. We still need to make the nylon “trellis” for the climbing plants, but given the size of our veggies there’s no rush!

Wish us luck! Now all we have to contend with are the slugs/snails (we’ve since put up copper tape around everything) and the dogs EATING the plants. (They’re so odd… )
