The winter no-dig garden
Monday, April 13th, 2009Over the Easter weekend I’ve renewed my no-dig garden. I pulled out the old and not very productive rockmelon and watermelon vines and snake beans, re-did the fence so it sags less (and is less easily climbed by marauding possums), and added more lucerne and more sugar can mulch.
All the rain has made it a perfect time to plant for winter. I’ve just put in some cauliflower and Grosse Lisse tomato seedlings, and a few unusual salad greens that I learned about at a tropical vegies workshop a few weeks ago: mitsuba, Brazilian spinach, and mustard greens. The capsicums and basil are left over from summer and are stilll producing now.
