Cricketk's Pool garden

Created on Monday, 02 Jun 08

Existing garden around the pool.

I think it would have been absolutely beautiful about 8 years ago. It’s currently desperately overgrown. I’ve done one lot of pruning, but there is an awful lot more to go. I want to take it back so that the pool remains surrounded by greenery, but is:

A) Producing more food
B) Not having plants fighting each other for light and resources
C) Easy to see what reticulation there is and where it goes.
