About My Edibles

Share on Facebook

My husband, myself and our young son are creating an 'Urban Farm' in our back yard.The size of the lawn is shrinking and we are planting all edibles.We are relative novices but I have been reading alot of books and the Daley's website is invaluable.



Am a member of the Diggers club also - which is where i procure most of my seeds for veges.



We have rather hot summers (days over 40), we have replaced most of our soil with organic soil from the Green Life Soil Co (Highly reccommend!) Our block is only 457sqm (including a 4 x 2 house and a front yard) but we are determined to become self sufficient in fruit and veg in the next few years !



Our motto when it comes to the garden is 'Can't eat it?... Don't need it !).

Tiggerbow - I'm trying the same thing (block is a simular size). I think you're setting a wonderful example for your boy! Let me know if you see any dwarf black mulberries because I'd love to get one too!

Have you thought about thinning the branches out? Too many shades the fruit buds for next year !
