cricketk's Pool garden

Garden Type: Backyard | Sun: Dappled Sun | Soil: Sand I'm Organic!

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.
