So here is the garden Aden and I have done over the last couple of weeks while they've been on holidays (vacation).
The first pic is of the three garden beds. We elected to go with round iron raised beds for a number of reasons. Firstly, we wanted them quite high to keep the dogs out without having a build a fence around. Secondly, the soil quality here is quite poor. Very sandy. Dries out too quickly etc. So in the tanks we first put sugar cane mulch at the bottom, then about 2/3 of organic fertilized soil. We're yet to start our own composting area, but that's the next project now the garden is actually under way. We've put weed matting under the beds for dual purposes. Firstly to keep the weeds out, but also to slow down drainage and in turn save on water. You can see the garden edging at the bottom. We haven't fixed that in properly yet. We just got the pegs for it yesterday, so we'll probably do that today, then we're going to put down pebbles in between the tanks to keep the area neat and tidy.
In the first one we have snow peas, zucchini, squash, leeks, corn.
Tomatoes, strawberries, carrots (from seed), lettuce, beetroot.
cappsicum (peppers), broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce.
