It’s been awhile since my last post but have progressed in leaps and bounds with our latest DIY project. Planned to create a garden enclosure over along one side of the backyard. The area had already been raised and sectioned off with a brick edging so made sense to scale the size of the enclosure to match (7x3m – Go hard or go home!). The area is prone to possums with all the large trees and our little Cat loves to use this section as her person litter tray or dig pen so it had to be sectioned off and best solution was as a walk-in enclosure, walls, roof and all! Walls have Avery mesh around the outside still big enough to allow bees in, but protected from snail, slugs, birds and other larger animals.
Really proud of our structure which took a couple weekends to build. It’s now been a couple months since we built the structure and have a few herb and veggies growing really well. The watering was killing my time every day and with heading away on holidays soon didn’t want to see that everything we’ve raised is dead on our return. So we worked out and installed an irrigation system with various sprinkers, dribblers and free flowing spouts all on a timer. Working a treat!
Below are the series of photos from the empty space to the build and now growing! Pretty happy for first time gardeners.
