Hi All hope you are all well and safe.
As promised some pics of the back yard, the first one is where I will be keeping the quail, chicken and rabbits. Even though I have given them a roof and started on the walls the rain is killing me it keeps flooding even after light rain, so in the pic I took I marked out the concrete area I will be doing in blue and the drain system in black.
Once they are done I will be starting on the raised beds and the tunnel I'm making the beds about 3 feet high to save the back I keep telling people I'm only 21 trapped in this 56 year old body. Spirits willing but after some work in the garden the body's not so much ha ha.
So that should help, I have for the past 12 months filling a whole 3 feet deep by 5 feet wide and 7 feet long with quail and cow manure and organic matter this will be the floor for my beds, once I have the walls up I will be filling with soil, sugar cane, leaves, organic waste like kitchen waste no meat and I struck a deal with the local coco lumber supplier to get as much saw dust as I want.
Picture 2 is east facing wall that the beds will be done I will have 5 to start with and they will be 3 feet high 6 feet wide and 8 feet long with 3-4 feet between beds.
Picture 3 is the south facing wall and you can see where the beds will be placed and also the trellis tunnel it will be around 3 feet wide and 30 feet long with 5 feet spacing between both inside edges.
Any thought would be great. Thanks for reading will update you all shortly be safe all and greens a dream.
