Warick's Vegetable garden

Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Loam I'm Organic!

This is my no dig garden and was built in April and May of 2007. Many winter vegies were planted ranging from lettuce to broccoli etc,etc.. Then many summer crops were planted as the winter one’s finished. Great care was taken to adopt crop rotation to lessen the chances of disease build up throughout the garden. Companion planting was also used wherever possible in both the herb and vegetable garden. Organic practices have been excersised throughout my garden as i find that feeding the soil rather than the plants is the only way to go therefore the plants are healthy and reduce the need to use any harsh chemicals..
