Hi everyone, my name is Matt and i have been bitten by the self sufficiency bug and would love to have a farm but alas, this is not possible ...... yet. So in the mean time my little patch in the backyard will have to do.
I only have enough room for two small vegie patches which i made from palletts. I cut the middle section out of the palletts and stacked them two high so there is room for the root vegies but not to deep as i had to buy the soil and as you all know good soil costs a fair bit of cash.I also have a few styrofoam boxes and small pots on the back landing and steps.
The vegies i have in the at the moment are carrots,silverbeet,climbing beans,chilli,tomato,and zucchini.A few herbs like basil,thyme,parsley and oregano and the odd strawberry plant here and there.
I started this blog to help me map out what works with what and in what season,how long things take to grow and what offers a good crop in a small area.
If you have a few tips on how i can make my humble patch thrive i would love to hear from you.
Thanks and happy vegies
