17 - New attempts, this time with MULCH!

After these last few weeks of trial and error in the garden we have smartened up a little. At least it feels like we have. We have decided to clear 2 small growing areas and try another sample sight, using the same ideas as which worked before and adding in the mulching concept which had eluded us. As a result we have two small plots with a range of seeds getting some very personal care from the two gardeners. We haven’t used beer for pests yet because we didn’t want to lure the snails to the new stuff with a free beer. I had the idea it may attract the pests as a high in energy food source. You can see on one area we have left some onion type plants in because we saw no sense in removing good growth we were not going to eat.

These are some photos of the new plots, fingers crossed our knowledge aides us.
