Hey folks, I am building on some new land out at green bank spring mountain and finding it difficult planning for my next garden. The block is 3600m2 at 40m x 90m with minimal slope to the left side. H1 type soil and the block is oriented to the north west.
The house will be 10m from the front which gives me just under 63m out the back. The plan is to have lawn off the back of the house for 20m then a hedge across to screen off my garden. Behind the hedge will then be all mine to creat an orchard, vegetable garden, chicken/duck coop and a little food forest of bananas pawpaws and berries. Behind the hedge will be around 43m by 40m.
Basically I need help figuring out where to put a large 15x15m vegetable garden with a 30- 40 tree orchard so I can get optimal growth from both. I've uploaded a photo of the block for reference.
Exciting times ahead but daunting as well because I don't want to make a fatal mistake and have limited growth.
