Moving Forward.....One plant at a time
The beds were defined by the raised roots of the Golden Apple tree (Spondias dulcis) and filled in behind with soil. Ive dumped 7 yards of compost/manure to raise the beds and now added more of a light compost mix to each of the planting holes.During this first stage we have received alot of rain over christmas and new years. This made for a heavy job as inches of mud clung to each shoe adding pounds of weight....not fun...
In the foreground of the pictures above I placed new soil where the new savannah grass lawn will be planted with individual plugs!!!
Booty from one of the many plant buying trips at various local nurseries
Enemy number one !!!
My secret stealth weapon on the war on slugs...to give some scale hes larger than my clenched fist !!
