Garden Plans > 2020: Rear Garden

About this Garden Plan

Partially overshadowed by large trees and part used as a wildlife/nature garden. The remaining half is used to provide food crops for my wife and I and also flwers to encourage the bees. The heavy clay soil was a farm about 100 years ago and has been worked pretty much ever since. I use a trailer load of horse muck and 1000Ltrs of local compost most years.
