About My Edible Backyard

I am busy with three kids but I get a sense of satisfaction from growing some of our own food. We live in the tropics of central qld with most of our rain occurring in summer. Our biggest challenge has been improving the soil which we do by constantly mulching and using organic fertilisers.
