Inspired by the success of my oblong raised no dig garden bed, I decided, upon Leeanne's suggestion, to renovate the garden bed which ran along our western fence to accommodate climbers and leafy vegies.

Our winter planting of various peas last year in Ania and Indra's north facing bed failed to yield very much, indeed they were affected so severely by mold that we had to get rid of them.  So Leeanne, after some research, felt that having them against the western fence facing east would allow them a solid six hours of eastern sunlight and avoid the harsh north and western sun that would dry out the plot as the seasons moved to summer.

I decided on a shallower no dig garden and removed the layer of native leaf mulch, which isn't good for vegies, replacing it with alternate layers of lucerne hay and sheep poo, finishing off with a thick layer of sugar cane mulch.  I bought this stuff from a major hardware retailer to compare it with the lucerne hay and straw that Leeanne procured from a pet supply place and horse poo she got from Bronwyn's horses at Phillip Bay.  We shall see which performs best.

I nailed up some chook wire on the fence for the snow pea seedlings we bought the other day.  In the front of them we'll plant various lettuce, including cos, and silverbeet.
