It is a good way to enlarge garden beds, slow and subtle.

Looks nice LV and the corn looks really happy. I guess you have time to get it to maturity there, whereas our nights have started with the autumn weather and the days cooling off.

The sea side daisy and brachycome are doing well.

Moved some rocks down near my raised veggie bed and retaining wall. These rocks were really heavy to roll by hand, so they're there for good now. (The golf ball in the first shot shows how big they were.)

Corn is doing well

New raised bed on the other side of the house, thinking of chillies in the spring. Have to add some manure and compost to get the bed ready for planting.

Dunno how cold your winter gets LV, but a bit of a plastic tunnel over those chillies might help those plants survive the winter and then you'll have mature plants come spring !

In ideal conditions, 5-10 years.
