Today we began the planting process.

Beds are complete, the garlic arrived & has been sorted, today planting began.

 
Whoever said a no dig garden….A no dig garden meant shovelling tonnes of dirt, compost and mulch. Sure this might be good on a verandah of a city apartment but this no dig garden took months of collecting of papers, cardboard and then the shovelling. Let’s hope this works.
 
Many varieties of garlic are in these test beds. By late 2014 we will have an idea of what worked thus year. A year of higher than normal temperatures and extreme low amounts if rainfall.
 
The fence went up to keep the locals out,.
 
Mulch has been placed over the beds of garlic seed.

Now the waiting begins…
