My house build on an acre block

Hey thought I’d share bits and pieces of buying our acre block 

bare and building a beautiful modern fully landscaped home all by myself except the house as Riky’s and Moylan did that

Re: my house build on an acre block

So the first thing I did was build two garden beds along either side of the block 

I used pine  timber  from Bunnings , 

1 garden bed is 70 m , the other is 30 m 

I then stringlined it from end to end where I wanted it and then hammered in some steel pegs to screw the board to , i then ran all water droppers and hose and then filled the bed with good soil , I then weed matted it and added the plants any really that you like you can use , 

And then used a pine bark 7 mm from bunnings
