#279 No Dig Renovation of an Old Herb/Vegie Bed
I'm either 100% full steam ahead or a dead stop! After having completed the climbing plant no dig bed renovation I decided to renovate pour old herb/vegie bed located in front of our kitchen. I wanted a no dig version of the same so I recycled some old house bricks, on their side, to raise the height of the bed, placing the pre-existing rocks on top.
I scraped off most of the old native mulch off the bed to expose some soil which has accumulated on the weedmat below as I have been advised that eucalypt mulch has the effect of depleting the soil of nitrogen. I am going to apply the usual lasagne layers, this time of lucerne hay, bought from a pet supplier, horse manure, from Bronwyn, our local friend who has a few horses and finishing with straw also from the produce store.
