Thanks Cathy I really enjoy gardening and trying to create new ways to do things. The pawpaw started as a double then I managed to get 8 trunks but I had to remove 3 as it was a bit much for the root stock to produce that much fruit. I have 5 trunks remaining all producing lots of fruit plenty...
Not sure what's happenig there maybe it's because you may peel it too much. Here's the bed i planted 10 days ago with the same method and got 100% success so far out of 50 garlic only 4 haven't sprouted yet but I'm sure they're on the way..
Just make sure you plant in nice loose soil I use a stick about as wide as your thumb to push a hole in the ground and put the garlic in hard end down with the wispy end just poking out of the soil. Keep moist and should see sprouts in a week or two also make sure you leave the dry skin on don't...
Got 4 of the 6 beds under way probably a little early as the beds are still settling but I couldn't wait. Got 4 squash going and producing well and just put in some lettuce, carrots, spring onions, celery and one bed full of garlic.

Na first one I've put a bit of research into it though so hopefully all works well.. I also work part time out at Tullamore Farm at Kerri where I learn alot to do with organic farming off Bill and the crew..
Orchard #1 is now complete.. Watering once a week will be all that is needed and wait for the fruit to start in a couple of years..
Back filled all the wood with some under turf I had laying around..
Cover with wood chip that I got free from the neighbour.. Cheers mate.
Beautiful view this...
Orchard # 1 almost complete..
Planted 6 new fruit trees this week and gave them a good start with some mini hugal culture in each hole and timber placed to retain more water and provide nutrients. Just finished placing the timber on the downhill side of each of the first 9 fruit trees we put in...
Finally been able to mow the majority of the property after everything being so wet for ages still some really boggy bits but all in all gardens are looking great..
Just put in 6 more fruit trees and re planted a heap of garlic, carrots, celery, lettuce and a few others . The dream is coming...
Anyone have any experience with the Brazilian Cherry 🍒 the flavour as is can be rather tart with an unual after taste. Any jammers out there using these strange but very beneficial fruit.
Got 4 filled just before the rain hit 2 weeks ago and because it was fresh soil that hadn't settled some got washed out and the beds sunk 4-5 inches. Had a chance today to mix some soil and top up those beds unfortunately ran out of mix due to some getting washed away in the rain. Only 2 left.. 😁
