VEGGIE GARDEN PROGRESS

So from commencing these garden beds in mid June until this week, 2 August, the progress is pretty outstanding

The money & time invested in these gardens will be enjoyed for years to come

This first seasons crop is going to be mind blowing

These late rains are giving us an extended chance to lock the moisture in our garden beds, so if you haven’t mulched yet you should get onto it

Why Mulch? See below for some links on the benefits of mulching

When buying your mulch don’t skimp out and buy the cheapest you can find
Why? Many baled up produce is full of weeds which you then introduce into your gardens
Once the weeds are there, it takes a massive effort to eradicate them.

Left unchecked the problem continues to escalate and can quickly become simply overwhelming
This costs you more time, more money and the chances of 100% removal is slim, so you could be kicking yourself every wet season when the weeds reshoot.

The following pictures are of a property that I have been revisiting over some months repeatedly alternating between hand weeding & spraying trying to eradicate a massive infestation after the owner unknowingly rolled out bales of mulch hay full of multiple weeds and grasses not present prior
