Hi everyone. Sometimes I think the last thing I need is another forum, but me being here is entirely Jaymie's fault. I kinda 'know' some of you from BYAP when I was there a LOOOOOOONG time ago, and from various other spots around the great interwebs of life. I have no garden to speak of. I have a lot of dead grass, growing in a good foot and a half of sand over a hardpan clay base. I have 4 chickens who used to free range until the foxes got wind of them so they are now barricaded into their chicken tractor with enough heavy duty wire to stop a mutant fox from mars getting in. I have one rainwater tank that is full because I don't use it in the house (spray drift issues) and I have no garden to water. I have a habit of killing off anything that I grow in pots. On the up side, in a week or so I am getting a number of large fibreglass pipe offcuts (2 m diameter rounds, fibreglass 2 inches thick, walls about a foot and a half high) and I am DETERMINED that I will create a bunch of rotating wicking-bed style gardens that will NOT die and will grow me some veg. Damn it. I love to preserve. I have a couple of standard Fowlers units and a pressure canner. A jar collection to rival all jar collections. And I make beer. And wine. Probably to help me through the death of assorted garden plants. Ali |
