#gardencare

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I've been working very hard lately - including most evenings and some weekends - so I'm taking today off to do some gardening. 🌱

Cleared some weeds, cut down a couple of volunteer trees that were in a bad place, and dug some more drainage trenches.

This garden is big enough to keep me busy well into retirement, but it's nice to do a bit here and there.

Garden care is self care.

@theapplefarmer that sounds amazing!

I read up on soil health last year and am trying something similar this year myself, on a much muuuch smaller scale - in my container garden on my roof 😅

I used to trash away prunings and fallen leaves every week - but starting this season ive decided to dry em, ground em up into tiny bits, and then incorporate them into my pots.

Hope it works 🤞🏻🤓

Meet our marsupial gardening crew. Every night, 30 - 100 pademelons and a few wallabies look after the lawns. They take care of mowing, edging and fertilising.

We don't see possums every night, but there's often 1 - 6 of them. They take care of eating all fruit from the fruit trees and destroying any part of the vegetable garden that isn't fully enclosed so it's lucky they're cute.
