Garden Type: Vegetable | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay | Established: 2008 | Organic

I started this vegie garden in August 2007. The soil was very poor, very hard dry clay. I initially installed a dripper system and then have been spending a lot of time improving the soil with manure, compost, and water crystals, and mulch. The garden had a few existing fruit trees and a bay tree.

Containing 52 plants, Tonya's Edible garden is an outdoor garden located in Canberra, Australia and is grown using organic principles.

This Vegetable garden is located in USDA Zone 9a and has Clay soil with a Full Sun outlook.
