Garden update – November 1st

Kiwi November 1, 2015

We’ve been busy in the garden lately. A thick layer of bought hop compost helps us to speed up the process of improving our poor clay/granite sand soil conditions. Night frosts are long gone so we can start planting our seedlings from the greenhouse to the veggie terraces.

3 sisters arrangement: Pumpkin on the ground, sweet corn to grow tall and beans to improve the soil
