About My Edibles

Share on Facebook

Soil type- sandy,        Annual rainfall - 36inches,      Aspect of property - South facing.


Our Orchard does it tough. Most of the plantings were done in 1997.  During this  time our orchard has been through 10yrs of drought, 4x Hail storms, Possum attacks and just recently a tornado (Dec2008). To this time we have lost only 15% of our 100 fruit trees. We mulch mulch mulch. Our soil type is sandy to light loam. Great for drainage but does dry out. A tip.. when we dug the holes and they were deep.   We placed thick cardboard in the bottom of the holes. This acts like a underground reservoir. I would only recommend sandy soils for this tip. Also we have long western sunsets and we do get medium to heavy frosts.    I collected local Wattle seed, which are not the suckering type and planted 4 Wattle  seedlings around each frost sensitive fruit tree (to protect from frosts and western sun).  The Wattles have now become timber and mulch for the very fruit trees they have been protecting for all these years. Now, I only plant tough trees as the above can become  time consuming. Well, not all the time. My next experiment will be a Wonga Beach Coconut. Hymmm
